The United National Congress (UNC) is claiming it has been contacted by various media houses on behalf of the People’s National Movement (PNM) to request the relinquishing of almost 50% of its prime advertising and broadcast spots for the 2025 general election to the ruling party.

In a media release issued yesterday, the UNC said it prepared for the 2025 general election by pre-booking and pre-paying for these advertising and broadcast spots since November 2024.

“The PNM, clearly in chaos, called an election date without booking their advertising campaign slots and are now requesting and in some instances demanding that media houses bump UNC ads and broadcasts in favour of PNM advertising. This is grossly unfair and unethical,” the UNC said.
