Prime Min­is­ter Stu­art Young has raised con­cern about the sus­pect­ed align­ment of op­pos­ing par­ty sup­port­ers with crim­i­nals in an ef­fort to ad­vance their cause in the up­com­ing Gen­er­al Elec­tion.

Speak­ing with re­porters yes­ter­day fol­low­ing a tour of the San­gre Grande Hos­pi­tal, on its one-year an­niver­sary of op­er­a­tion, Young was asked about the tone of the elec­tion cam­paign and whether he had any con­cerns.

While he ap­plaud­ed the con­duct of sup­port­ers of the Peo­ple’s Na­tion­al Move­ment (PNM) through­out the po­lit­i­cal process, he ex­pressed con­cerns about the pos­si­ble threats posed by op­pos­ing par­ty sup­port­ers.
