PEOPLE'S Empowerment Party's (PEP) leader Phillip Edward Alexander says he has no issue with his party being left out of Kamla Persad-Bissessar's cabinet picks.

"There’s not much I can add other than to say I’m aware that she is still formulating her cabinet and government. We expect the best people from all members of the coalition to be called upon to serve.

"We in the PEP are happy that the policies we have been fighting for are now front-burner national issues, which means that for the most part, PEP is already well-represented where we need to be," he told Newsday in a brief WhatsApp message.
