Click to view full size

Two days before the General Election, Prime Minister Stuart Young urged citizens to be cautious as he accused the United National Congress (UNC) of offering money to citizens in exchange for voiding their votes.

He claimed this was a form of voter suppression being used by the Kamla Persad-Bissessar party.

Speaking in Sangre Grande on Thursday night, Young also presented a video of UNC supporters putting a UNC T-shirt on an elderly woman who was already wearing a People’s National Movement (PNM) T-shirt.
