Na­tion­al Trans­for­ma­tion Al­liance (NTA) leader Gary Grif­fith says his par­ty will not en­gage in what he de­scribes as “po­lit­i­cal do­mes­tic vi­o­lence” with oth­er par­ties but re­mains com­mit­ted to form­ing al­liances with par­ties that show “po­lit­i­cal ma­tu­ri­ty” ahead of the forth­com­ing gen­er­al elec­tion.

He made the com­ment in re­sponse to ques­tions on whether the NTA will seek an al­liance with Mick­ela Pan­day’s Pa­tri­ot­ic Front (PF), or any oth­er so-called third par­ties who may join the gen­er­al elec­tion race.

“We not beg­ging oth­er po­lit­i­cal par­ties. There must be that mu­tu­al un­der­stand­ing, so if cer­tain par­ties want to go alone that is their right,” Grif­fith said while at a Ro­tary Club of Port-of-Spain meet­ing at Good­will In­dus­tries, Port-of-Spain, yes­ter­day.
