Amidst concerns over a loss of members from the United National Congress (UNC), Opposition Leader Kamla Persad-Bissessar says she is still confident in her party’s chances of winning this year’s general election.
Persad-Bissessar made the remarks as she arrived at the party’s headquarters on Mulchan Seuchan Road, Chaguanas to participate in screening duties for prospective candidates for the La Horquetta/Talparo and Malabar/Mausica (formerly D’Abadie/O’Meara) seats.
Responding to questions over former UNC members breaking ranks to form alliances with smaller political parties, Persad-Bissessar said she did not feel any of the smaller political units could challenge the UNC and questioned their legitimacy, referring to them as “leaders without followers.”
