For the first time in his­to­ry, some res­i­dents of Em­ba­cadere, once con­sid­ered a strong Peo­ple’s Na­tion­al Move­ment ter­ri­to­ry, have switched sides say­ing they have found new hope in the Unit­ed Na­tion­al Con­gress.

When Guardian Me­dia vis­it­ed the area, a UNC flag hung from the apart­ment of res­i­dent Ann Isaac, at Block P, who said she de­cid­ed not to sup­port the PNM af­ter, what she called, years of ne­glect.

Isaac said she could not vote be­cause of an is­sue with her ID card, yet she had pub­licly thrown sup­port to the UNC long be­fore the par­ty won.
