Landslide in Turks & Caicos polls
published: Monday | February 12, 2007

SAN JUAN, Puerto Rico (AP):

The Turks and Caicos Islands' ruling party has captured all but two of 15 seats in parliamentary elections after a bitter campaign against the British territory's opposition, which alleged widespread corruption by governing officials.

The Progressive National Party, under the leadership of Premier Michael Misick, emerged victorious in Friday's general election, capturing 13 of 15 electoral seats, the British Caribbean territory's government announced Saturday after tallying votes.

Misick, who led the party to victory in 2003 after eight years in the opposition, will become premier for his second term.
