The outgoing Guyanese representative was re-elected with a particularly high rate of abstentions. Indeed, the results of the second round were almost in suspense.

He thus regained his seat as a councillor with almost 17% of the votes, or 8,422 votes.
MDES (Decolonization and Social Liberation Movement) candidate Jean Victor Castor received 76.11% of the votes in the first constituency, while Boris Zhuang Xue received 23.8%.
