The UNC is on track to complete screening on February 21 for the 39 seats it will contest in the upcoming general election, political leader Kamla Persad-Bissessar has told Newsday.

The party began screening on November 29 and has vetted nominees for 35 seats.

The majority of these screenings took place within the last few weeks as the party announced its intent to contest the election as a coalition with People's Empowerment Party (PEP), led by Phillip Edward Alexander, the Laventille Outreach for Vertical Enrichment (LOVE) movement and the Oilfield Workers' Trade Union (OWTU).
