Former Mayaro MP Rushton Paray, once labelled a dissident within the United National Congress (UNC), has expressed full support for Kamla Persad-Bissessar following her unopposed re-election as Political Leader of the party on Sunday.
Paray, who led the United Patriots slate and mounted a challenge for the post of deputy political leader during the UNC’s 2024 internal elections, said the latest outcome signals a clear mandate that should be respected by all party members.
In a statement to Guardian Media yesterday, Paray acknowledged Persad-Bissessar’s continued leadership, stating, “Mrs Persad-Bissessar has been given an unquestionable mandate to lead this country for the next five years, with no challengers in the leadership election. That decision must be respected.”
