FORMER Minister of Foreign and Caricom Affairs Dr Amery Browne has sent his congratulations to Prime Minister-elect Kamla Persad-Bissessar and the UNC on winning the general election.

In a WhatsApp message sent to Newsday on April 29, hours after the UNC and its coalition of interests swept the polls in Trinidad by an unofficial margin of 26 seats to 13, with the TPP unseating the PNM in the two Tobago seats, Browne admitted the PNM must now take its own bitter political medicine.

"I repeat my clear and unreserved congratulations to the incoming prime minister and the UNC team, and to all successful candidates in this general election on both islands (UNC, PNM, and TPP).
