Se­nior Mul­ti­me­dia Re­porter

As elec­tion cam­paign­ing heats up, sit­ting UNC Al­der­man Vic­tor Roberts has thrown his sup­port be­hind PNM can­di­date for La Brea, Ran­dall Mitchell, snub­bing the UNC can­di­date, trade union­ist Clyde El­der.

Roberts, who fell out with the UNC af­ter align­ing with Ma­yaro MP Rush­ton Paray’s Unit­ed Pa­tri­ots slate, has not for­mal­ly re­signed from the UNC par­ty. He said he is await­ing a re­sponse to his let­ter to Op­po­si­tion Leader Kam­la Per­sad-Bisses­sar, de­mand­ing a fi­nan­cial au­dit of UNC ac­counts which is due on April 30.
