The Trin­ba­go Uni­fied Ca­lyp­so­ni­ans’ Or­gan­i­sa­tion (TU­CO) elec­tion, sched­uled for this Sun­day, will pro­ceed as planned.

High Court Judge Frank Seep­er­sad yes­ter­day dis­missed an ap­pli­ca­tion by pres­i­den­tial can­di­date Kurt Allen seek­ing to stop and de­fer the poll.

Jus­tice Seep­er­sad had dis­missed an ex-parte ap­pli­ca­tion from Allen last week­end and reached the same con­clu­sion af­ter giv­ing TU­CO, its cur­rent pres­i­dent Ains­ley King, and gen­er­al sec­re­tary Shirlane Hen­drick­son an op­por­tu­ni­ty to re­spond to Allen’s claims dur­ing a hear­ing yes­ter­day.
