Unit­ed Na­tion­al Con­gress (UNC) leader Kam­la Per­sad-Bisses­sar has re­spond­ed to con­cerns about her health and age as she ad­dressed a sea of sup­port­ers at their Code Yel­low ral­ly in Aranguez yes­ter­day. Per­sad-Bisses­sar em­pha­sised her un­wa­ver­ing ded­i­ca­tion to the na­tion and her abil­i­ty to lead.

The UNC leader ad­mit­ted to mak­ing mis­takes in the past and apol­o­gised to par­ty mem­bers. She al­so re­it­er­at­ed her tough stance on crime.

In her fi­nal po­lit­i­cal speech be­fore to­mor­row’s Gen­er­al Elec­tion, she re­flect­ed on her decades-long po­lit­i­cal ca­reer, hav­ing been a mem­ber of the UNC since it was found­ed in 1988. She served as the MP for Siparia since 1995 and was the na­tion’s first fe­male prime min­is­ter.
