Minister of Public Utilities Barry Padarath was booed by patrons at the Hyatt Lime fete in Port of Spain on Wednesday night after he took to the stage and attempted to address the crowd.

The Carnival fete, which is one of the most expensive and exclusive events on the local party circuit, sold out early.

Videos circulating on social media show sections of the crowd loudly booing as Padarath began speaking, prompting chants and audible displeasure from partygoers.
