There is no seat more mar­gin­al than the con­stituen­cy of Aranguez/St Joseph. Some con­stituents have sent a warn­ing to in­cum­bent MP Ter­rence Deyals­ingh that he might not be three times lucky with their vote if his pres­ence is not felt more in the for­mer St Joseph seat.

In the 2020 Gen­er­al Elec­tions, on­ly 823 votes sep­a­rat­ed the Peo­ple’s Na­tion­al Move­ment’s (PNM) Deyals­ingh from the Unit­ed Na­tion­al Con­gress can­di­date Ahloy Hunt. Deyals­ingh ac­crued 9362 votes against Hunt’s 8539 with 63.7 per cent of the con­stituen­cy’s elec­torate cast­ing votes.
