The list given above gives the results of the primaries but it is not necessarily going to be the party’s lineup because the rules allow Bennett to appoint people of his choice to several spots on the list (3, 6, 11 and 16) should he choose to do so.
And UTJ will just have its list selected, no need to actually ask the people for their opinion on who they want representing them.
