As Trinidad and Tobago awakes to this year’s General Election, Chairman of the Council for Responsible Political Behaviour, Dr Bishnu Ragoonath, has commended the overall conduct of the election campaigns run by the political parties despite isolated incidents which would have caused disruptions.
In his final assessment of the period with Guardian Media yesterday, Ragoonath noted that the lapses which breached the council’s code did not pose significant threats to the electorate.
“There were one or two instances of physical confrontation. But beyond the physical confrontation and defacing and destruction of campaign paraphernalia, those were the two greatest areas of concern for us, as well as some derogatory language, the campaign could have done without. Generally, we had a peaceful campaign and a peaceful election.”
