Two political candidates are facing scrutiny after allegations surfaced that they have been campaigning alongside individuals with criminal backgrounds.
Wayne Sturge, the United National Congress (UNC) candidate for Toco/Sangre, confirmed walking with a person convicted of summary offences, while his People’s National Movement (PNM) counterpart, Roger Monroe, denied any association with such figures.
Sturge was responding to recent concerns raised by National Transformation Alliance leader Gary Griffith during a meeting in Sangre Grande that criminal elements were seen walking in the constituency with one candidate whom he did not identify.
