A shift in the racial composition of political meetings hosted by the People’s ­National Movement (PNM) and the United National Congress (UNC) has been observed by at least two political analysts.

Another political scientist, Dr Bishnu Ragoonath, has however urged caution, warning against making conclusions based on the makeup of the crowds.

Speaking via a telephone interview on Monday, political analyst and economist Dr Indera Sagewan said there was a visible increase in Afro-Trinidadian attendees at UNC meetings.
