UNC Internal General Elections

It is time for the UNC to elect a political leader.  Everyone agrees that the party needs to rebuild itself after the predictable lost at the polls.  The second in command in the party, the former leader of the Government in Parliament, Dr. Roodal Moonilal, is contesting the seat.  The most recent contender,

Mr. Vasant Barath has also thrown his hat in the ring. 

Word on the street is that all three Mrs. Bissassar, Mr. Moonilal and Mr. Barath are not desirable candidates.  They were all part of the last government and are privy to, if not directly involved in the going on there.  Most people believe for the UNC to stand a fighting chance in the next election they need to change the leadership.  Silently, people are wishing that someone like Makayla Panday should take the helm bring in new blood and a totally new perspective to the party. 

The former PM Basdeo Panday has declared that the internal elections will be rigged, just like the one where he was ousted.  He said that Makayla is her own boss and could decide on entering but he would advise against it.  His proof of the potential election rigging is that the UNC have never published its voter list. 

Now the incumbent leader, Mrs. Bissassar just declared that a list will be provided to each of the slates in the elections.  A bit late but it does nullify Mr. Panday’s evidence.

Here is what is being reported about this particular crime. Little Keyra was sleeping on a bed with her family when shots rang out.  Gunmen started shooting at the house and a bullet struck her in the abdomen.
