Se­nior Mul­ti­me­dia Re­porter

In a stun­ning po­lit­i­cal up­set, the PNM strong­holds of La Brea and Point Fortin fell to the UNC, mark­ing a his­toric shift that left res­i­dents reel­ing with dis­be­lief, awe, and ju­bi­la­tion.

Labour lead­ers Ernesto Kezar from the Oil­field Work­ers Trade Union and Clyde El­der from the Com­mu­ni­ca­tion Work­ers Trade Union se­cured un­prece­dent­ed vic­to­ries in the Point Fortin and La Brea con­stituen­cies long plagued by pover­ty, un­em­ploy­ment, and ne­glect.
