FORMER PNM vice-chairman Robert Le Hunte says the path to leadership is as important as who stands at the helm of leadership.

In a statement on April 30, Le Hunte said this is one of the reasons why the PNM lost the April 28 general election, while in Canada, the Liberal Party was re-elected to office in that country’s federal election on the same day.

“In the world of politics, leadership changes can mark either a renewal or a rupture. Recent events in Canada and Trinidad and Tobago provide a stark reminder that the process by which leaders are chosen can be just as important as the leaders themselves – or the outcomes they produce.”
