Both men pulled in 1,043 votes following a recount of ballots.<\/p>\n<p>When contacted, Mr Colebrook neither confirmed nor denied the date. He said he and Mr Bain have made a pact to remain silent on the matter until Labour Minister Shane Gibson returns from the International Labour Organisation meeting in Geneva, Switzerland.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Myself nor Mr Bain are making comments at this time because there still may be some ongoing talks and until such time as that is completed, we will remain silent.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>However, Guardian sources are predicting that Mr Colebrook will emerge the winner following the planned run-off elections. They believe those hotel workers who backed Samuel Duncombe in the May 26 election will throw their support behind Mr Colebrook in a bid to oust Mr Bain, who has held the post from May 2000. Mr Colebrook is employed as a bellman at Atlantis.<\/p>\n<p><small>The Nassau Guardian<\/small><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The presidential run-off for the leadership post of the Bahamas Hotel Catering and Allied Workers Union has been tentatively scheduled for Friday, June 23.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"rop_custom_images_group":[],"rop_custom_messages_group":[],"rop_publish_now":"initial","rop_publish_now_accounts":{"facebook_10223285771444175_51037792744":""},"rop_publish_now_history":[],"rop_publish_now_status":"pending","footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-242470","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.bahamasb2b.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/242470","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.bahamasb2b.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.bahamasb2b.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.bahamasb2b.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.bahamasb2b.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=242470"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.bahamasb2b.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/242470\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.bahamasb2b.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=242470"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.bahamasb2b.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=242470"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.bahamasb2b.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=242470"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
