Op­po­si­tion Leader Kam­la Per­sad-Bisses­sar has de­scribed the res­ig­na­tion of four more mem­bers of the Unit­ed Na­tion­al Con­gress’ (UNC) La Brea con­stituen­cy ex­ec­u­tive as child­ish and ir­rel­e­vant to the par­ty’s gen­er­al elec­tion cam­paign.

Amid a flur­ry of res­ig­na­tions with­in her par­ty, Op­po­si­tion Leader Kam­la Per­sad-Bisses­sar is urg­ing sup­port­ers not to be fooled by trai­tors of the UNC who have switched al­le­giance to the PNM in the lead-up to the gen­er­al elec­tions.

The Pa­tri­ot­ic Front has of­fi­cial­ly an­nounced sev­en more can­di­dates for the up­com­ing 2025 gen­er­al elec­tions.

Four mem­bers of the UNC’s La Brea Con­stituen­cy Ex­ec­u­tive have re­signed from their posts and from the par­ty.
