PORT OF SPAIN, Trinidad - At the end, everybody “knew” how it would turn out. But hardly anyone had dared to assert with confidence the compelling likelihood of the result. Jack Warner, the challenger to the ruling order, yesterday won the Chaguanas West by-election that he had himself audaciously caused to happen. In 2010, Mr Warner had won the seat with such a majority as to devastate the hopes of those then in contention and future aspirants. Three years later, the outrageous political fortune entailed in largely unanswered accusations deriving from his international football involvements worked to impel his resignation as Chaguanas West MP. At that point, it seemed, any number could play.
