Yes, you are right, on the votes count; I think I did not correctly remember the facts that I read a long time ago. Sorry for the misleading info. Gabe is right; Hubert was not popular at all; as per the votes polled. I think people knew that he was being brought into the fray by BJP Parrikar and Co. They helped him all the way; and in the end Valanka became the real loser, as all those other small contestants and Uncle? Hubert took away her votes. Pacheco was always an opponent of Churchill in Salcete, and he was expected to field a candidate. So it is now a fact that this was a BJP plot to divide the secular vote in Benaulim, just like in Navelim. The greatest tragedy is that a person like Hubert Gomes fell lock, stock and barrel for the clever machinations of Parrikar. That is why I told him off. Read my continuing response to him in Facebook Goa Speaks. Nascy Caldeira.

Infra is the breakdown of the results.
