As widely predicted the Bharatiya Janata Party candidate Mr Isidore Fernandes won over the Indian National Congress Mr Jagdish Acharya as per the reports just recieved. Since the early hours of dawn, politicians supporters of respective candidates in the just concluded 40- Poinguinim Assembly Constituency began arriving at the scene of counting near the Multipurpose School at Gogal Fatorda Salcete Goa (on the Margao Curtorim road via Borda )to witness the suspense --- viz the outcome of the nearly 77.8% votes cast on 13th October,2004 There was a reasonable bandobust. Counting was scheduled to take place at 0800 hrs but as the ballot boxes were being taken out from 0730 hrs onwards the counting agents and the staff on Election duty set the pace a little later. The counting of the 21 booths was in two halfs besides the 22nd which constituted service votes.
