Prime Min­is­ter and Peo­ple’s Na­tion­al Move­ment’s (PNM) prospec­tive can­di­date for Port-of-Spain North/St Ann’s West, Stu­art Young, says the Unit­ed Na­tion­al Con­gress (UNC) ap­pears to be poor­ly pre­pared for the Gen­er­al Elec­tion. How­ev­er, he said is not both­ered by this.

Cheered on by a group of PNM sup­port­ers decked out in the par­ty’s fa­mil­iar red colours, Prime Min­is­ter Young, who is the in­cum­bent Mem­ber of Par­lia­ment for Port-of-Spain North/St Ann’s West, head­ed in­side the Bel­mont Sec­ondary School for his nom­i­na­tion pa­pers to be ex­am­ined by Elec­tion and Bound­aries Com­mis­sion (EBC) of­fi­cials.

The EBC called on all prospec­tive can­di­dates to vis­it Re­turn­ing Of­fi­cers yes­ter­day for the of­fi­cial pre­lim­i­nary ex­am­i­na­tion of nom­i­na­tion pa­pers ahead of Nom­i­na­tion Day. The ex­er­cise was meant to en­sure there would be no hic­cups come April 4.
