A former UNC MP has described as “deeply disappointing” a platform comment by the party’s Tabaquite candidate Sean Sobers who claimed former Cumuto/Manzanilla MP Dr Rai Ragbir as “passing through like a vagrant.”

Sobers took a swipe at Ragbir at a political meeting in Mayaro on Saturday night while praising the party’s new candidate for the constituency, Shivanna Sam.
