THE battle for control of Toco/Sangre Grande is heating up day by day with the major political parties – PNM and UNC – pushing hard to secure the vote of as many constituents as possible while simultaneously increasing their visibility and hyping their campaigns.
From Valencia to Sangre Grande, almost every utility pole has been adorned – some might say littered – with red and yellow flags. Cars with loudspeakers rove through communities urging the public to support either the PNM candidate, Roger Munroe, the former MP, or UNC's Wayne Sturge.
Two other political parties – the Patriotic Front (Elizabeth Wharton) and National Transformation Alliance (Christine Newallo-Hosein) – have thrown their hat in the ring, but with considerably less resources at their disposal, presumably, are less visible than the major parties.
