MAYARO MP Rushton Paray is wishing his former colleague and MP for Cumuto/Manzanilla Dr Rai Ragbir well but will not be following in his footsteps to sever ties from the United National Congress (UNC).

Ragbir resigned from the UNC with effect on March 19, saying the party no longer uphold the values it once represented and was being influenced by individuals whose conduct is “deeply troubling”.

With the election being called and his term of office as MP ending, Ragbir said it was timely for him to exit from a party which has lost its moral compass and strayed from its principles.
