POLITICAL Leader of the United National Congress (UNC) Kamla Persad-Bissessar says there is no “accommodation” between herself and her opponent in the party’s internal election, Vasant Bharath.
In a release on Sunday, Persad-Bissessar said it had come to her attention that a letter, purportedly drafted by the UNC’s general secretary, using the party’s letterhead, has suggested that an accommodation had been reached between the two.
“This letter is completely fake and appears to be created by persons attempting to cause confusion among the membership of the UNC who are heading out to the polls today.
“I state firmly that there has been no accommodation between myself and Mr Vasant Bharath and as such, it is the duty of the members to vote for the persons they believe are best qualified to fill the positions on the national executive,” Persad-Bissessar said in the release.
“This letter is nothing more than a last minute distraction meant to create anxiety in the minds of our members…It is my view that the UNC membership is, and always has been, savvy enough to ignore these types of diversionary tactics,” the release added.
Persad-Bissessar was quoted as saying she expected her slate to emerge victorious.
