SimonsIndependent 233 Subsequent by-election PDM candidate Isaac Selver filed an election petition in the Supreme Court regarding the results in Electoral District 7, in which he had lost to Amanda Misick of the PNP by 30 votes. Selver's petition stated that PPP candidate Edward Smith was ineligible to stand for election by reason of his dual citizenship and dual allegiance to the United States and the Turks and Caicos Islands, and that the 58 votes that went to Smith had affected the outcome of the election and could have resulted in Selver's victory over Misick. In a December 2012 interview, Smith claimed that he had renounced U.S. citizenship by taking an oath of allegiance to the Queen in order to take up a position in the Turks and Caicos government. However, he had used his United States passport to travel to the United States in July 2012 after that oath. On 7 February 2013, the Supreme Court ruled the election void.http://suntci.com/drsmith-says-he-renounced-us-citizenship-p499-118.htm Vivian Tyson Dr. Smith says he renounced US Citizenship Turks and Caicos Sun 2012-11-26 2012-11-26http://www.tcinewsnow.com/headline-Court-declares-Provo-district-election-void-5700.html https://web.archive.org/web/20130211103925/http://www.tcinewsnow.com/headline-Court-declares-Provo-district-election-void-5700.html usurped February 11, 2013 Court declares Provo district election void TCI News Now 2013-02-07 2013-02-07 A by-election was held on 22 March 2013.
