FORMER attorney general in the People’s National Movement (PNM) John Jeremie made a surprise appearance on a United National Congress (UNC) platform on April 14, pledging support and promising to vote for the UNC on April 28. He gave a rousing endorsement of Opposition Leader Kamla Persad-Bissessar.

Jeremie who served as AG in the Patrick Manning administrations from 2003-2007 and from 2009 to 2010, called for an end to the race talk that seeks to divide in this critical election as he was warmly welcomed by Persad-Bissessar, whom she referred to as her brother, in law. Both are attorneys.

He called her a patriot and spoke of a relationship which spanned their university days, when she was his teacher.
