Parties

The number of personal votes varies widely among various parties. In the blue party, former party leader Elvis Tjin Asjoe only gets 93 preference votes, less than Edwin (Din) Domacassé, who received 115 preference votes, and even less than Renate Domacassé, who managed to get 95 people behind him. This also means that Tjin Asjoe was not directly elected to the Island Council.

In addition to Abraham, the PDB has three relatively large voters, namely Tati Frans with a total of 320 votes, Councilor Rolanda Helburg-Makaai with 274 preference votes and Delno Tromp with 250 preference votes.
