Opposition Leader Kamla Persad-Bissessar and her cabal pose a clear and present danger to the people of Trinidad and Tobago, outgoing Prime Minister Dr Keith Rowley said yesterday as he addressed the PNM special convention at City Hall, Port of Spain.

It was the last time Rowley was addressing a PNM convention in his capacity as Prime Minister. His successor Stuart Young is to be sworn in at 10 a.m. today by President Christine Kangaloo.

Rowley was speaking following the presentation of the PNM’s 41 candidates to the convention. To the strains of Bunji Garlin’s “Carry it”, each PNM candidate danced and waved a balisier flower as they made their way across the stage to a cheering audience. Then all candidates embraced and danced to PNM’s signature song, “We coming”, to an exuberant audience decked in red.
