A United National Congress (UNC) team was alarmed about the Elections and Boundaries Commission (EBC) saying that it had received no confirmation from the Prime Minister’s Office or any state authority regarding international election observers.

In a statement on April 7, the UNC said an eight-member delegation including Barry Padarath, Khadijah Ameen, Dave Tancoo, Peter Kanhai, Wade Mark had, earlier that day, held a meeting with the EBC to discuss matters ahead of the April 28 general election.

The party said the matter of observers was one of two major election-integrity issues which were unsolved, and with which the UNC remained “deeply concerned” and “dissatisfied.”
