PNM general secretary Foster Cummings was unfazed by the paltry seven per cent turnout of PNM members to vote in the party's internal elections for a new executive committee on June 22.

He was responding to a question by Newsday at a news briefing at the office of the Leader of the Opposition in Port of Spain on June 24. Newsday asked if the low voter turnout meant disinterest among party members which could spell trouble for the party.

Cummings said the turnout was 7,100, which he claimed was fairly consistent with the turnout at the party's internal elections in 2022. Reports are the party membership is 100,000.
