Unit­ed Na­tion­al Con­gress can­di­dates Ernesto Ke­sar and Clyde El­der have re­signed from the Move­ment of So­cial Jus­tice (MSJ).

MSJ leader David Ab­du­lah re­vealed this dur­ing a vir­tu­al press con­fer­ence yes­ter­day. He said it was in keep­ing with the MSJ’s con­sti­tu­tion as the two could not re­main with the MSJ while be­ing screened by an­oth­er po­lit­i­cal par­ty.

It was an­nounced on Wednes­day that Ke­sar would be con­test­ing the Point Fortin seat while El­der would be con­test­ing the La Brea seat, both Peo­ple’s Na­tion­al Move­ment strong­holds, on a UNC tick­et in the up­com­ing gen­er­al elec­tion.
