Prime Min­is­ter-elect Kam­la Per­sad-Bisses­sar has praised the re­silien­cy of the Unit­ed Na­tion­al Con­gress (UNC) on the 36th an­niver­sary of the par­ty's found­ing.

In a state­ment to the me­dia, Per­sad-Bisses­sar praised the found­ing mem­bers of the par­ty as "a group of com­mit­ted pa­tri­ots from across the length and breadth of T&T hud­dled un­der um­brel­las in the rain in Aranguez Sa­van­nah."

She said, "This marked the be­gin­ning of a re­mark­able po­lit­i­cal and so­cial jour­ney that has al­tered the course of our na­tion’s his­to­ry and con­tin­ues to shape and pos­i­tive­ly im­pact the lives of count­less in­di­vid­u­als."
