“When God says yes, nobody can say no!” declared Prime Minister-elect Kamla Persad-Bissessar, as she delivered her victory speech before an adoring crowd of supporters at the party’s Chaguanas headquarters last night.

Tears of joy streamed from some supporters as Persad-Bissessar assured that the people’s priorities would once again guide the Government’s agenda and that every campaign promise would be delivered.

“You have carried me on a journey that is filled with love and determination,” she said, her voice strong yet emotional, as she expressed deep gratitude to the Coalition of Interests and the rank and file of the UNC, who, she said, had stood with her “through thick and thin”.
