The Jamaica Labour Party's candidate, Daryl Vaz, defeated the People's National Party's Kenneth Rowe in the vote.

"The Constituted Authority did not, whether on its own motion or at the request of any of the candidates, determine that any application ought to be made to the Election Court with a view to voiding the taking of the polls within any polling station or electoral division," said Justice Ranse Langrin, chairman of the authority.

Other members of the authority include Dennis Lalor; Professor Errol Miller, chairman of the Electoral Commission of Jamaica (ECJ); as well as independent members of the ECJ - Dr Herbert Thompson, Dorothy Pine-Mclarty and Justice Clarence Walker.
