'Kamla, call the internal election, or we will lose again'
Member of Parliament for Mayaro Rushton called a press conference today, to speak, he said, on behalf of ordinary UNC members who want internal elections to be called when they are due in June of 2024.
Flanked by UNC activist Victor Roberts and former local government chairman Henry Awong, Paray thanked the “brave and courageous UNC family who have joined me today, as we stand firm and united in our convictions.” The supporters gathered at the Couva Chamber of Commerce Hall, he said “come from all areas of our nation including Chaguanas, Couva, Siparia, Naparima, Princess Town , St.Augustine, Sangre Grande and my home constituency , Mayaro.”
“Today, we are all making this public demand , because we have a grave concern, that there is an attempt from the executive to devalue the UNC’s internal elections, by suggesting it is not necessary or even needed.”
Paray said that despite the fact that no General Election has been called, “a bogus narrative is being pushed by our leadership, that says we cannot have our internal elections because there is a General Election “soon”. That is not acceptable.”
He said that if these internal elections are not held, “it will mean that the leadership of our party will continue to fail the thousands of members by denying them their right to have their voices heard. If these UNC internal elections are not held, it will mean the leadership of our party will continue to be unprepared, rudderless and weak. If these UNC internal elections are not held , it will mean the UNC will be destined to lose a third successive General Election.”
