San Fernando East MP Brian Manning has maintained that he was not involved in legal action brought by a constituent seeking permission to participate in the constituency’s Women’s League executive elections on Saturday.
In a telephone interview, Manning acknowledged social media posts that incorrectly suggested he was behind the litigation pursued by 81-year-old Bernadette Shirley Blenman, of Ste Madeleine.
“I don’t know how I got involved here. A constituent wanted to vote. She has been voting for forty-something years,” Manning said.
