Prime Minister Kamla Persad-Bissessar was greeted with open arms during a victory motorcade on April 4 through her Siparia constituency despite a late arrival.

The motorcade was intended to thank supporters for her 26-13-2 victory at last week's polls and was advertised to begin at 1 pm. However, it didn't kick off until Persad-Bissessar arrived around 3.30 pm. Newsday arrived at the Heritage Petroleum ground, Clarke Road, Penal around 12.30 where there were already about half a dozen vehicles waiting.
