Photograph: Nick Bradshaw‘They are looking for an alternative’: right and left extremes to gain in Belgian electionsWith no constituency-wide tally available, a clear image of the race for the constituency’s five seats will not emerge until the first count is announced.
Fine Gael poll counters in Castlebar, buoyed by a steady performance in the local elections, were hopeful on Sunday the party could claim two of five seats up for grabs in the constituency, noting former jockey Ms Carberry is emerging as a transfer-friendly candidate.Initial projections placed Sinn Féin, on the other hand, at risk of losing out in the constituency.
Pauline O’Reilly, Green Party candidate in Midlands-North-West, said while her tally numbers in her home constituency of Galway West were strong, the picture was much less promising elsewhere.A total of 320 count staff were expected to work on the European ballots into the night on Sunday at the TF Royal Hotel, with the count in Castlebar to last until at least Wednesday. There are a total of 27 candidates running for election in the Midlands-North-West.
