And while we were declaring the news of a new government, we also broke the tragic news of the death of a minor.
Indeed, just before the start of the political celebrations 16-year-old Gregory Lewis was found motionless in the middle of Bullet tree road at about 200 yards from the intersection with the San Ignacio Hospital. Lewis's body was found by an officer who quickly transported him up the hill to the hospital but by that time he was declared dead on arrival.
Our News team reached out to Lewis's family for comment this morning but his father who confirmed that his son's death quote: "couldn't be" politically motivated told us that they are grieving privately and declined an interview at this time.
Police have located a scene on a feeder road off the bullet tree road where 12 expended 9mm shells were found.
