Se­nior Mul­ti­me­dia Re­porter

As he mount­ed a Unit­ed Na­tion­al Con­gress (UNC) plat­form for the first time in his life last night, for­mer Peo­ple’s Na­tion­al Move­ment (PNM) at­tor­ney gen­er­al John Je­re­mie, in en­dors­ing UNC leader Kam­la Per­sad-Bisses­sar, told the crowd, “I am the last man you would ex­pect to see here tonight.”

De­scrib­ing him­self as a child of the PNM, Je­re­mie said, “I have fought many bit­ter bat­tles. In our cul­ture, it is frowned up­on to change loy­al­ties. I un­der­stand all the ways I could be harmed by be­ing here.”
