While the for­mer po­lit­i­cal leader of the Peo­ple’s Na­tion­al Move­ment (PNM), Dr Kei­th Row­ley, has tak­en all the blame for the par­ty’s elec­tion de­feat, for­mer PNM mem­ber Karen Nunez-Tesheira says out­go­ing Prime Min­is­ter Stu­art Young al­so bears sig­nif­i­cant re­spon­si­bil­i­ty.

Her com­ments come a day af­ter Dr Row­ley sub­mit­ted his res­ig­na­tion as po­lit­i­cal leader—ef­fec­tive to­day—and Young stepped down as par­ty chair­man with im­me­di­ate ef­fect.

Speak­ing on CNC3’s The Morn­ing Brew on Thurs­day, Nunez-Tesheira point­ed to Dr Row­ley’s "ar­ro­gant lead­er­ship de­ci­sions", which she be­lieves brought the par­ty to its knees on Mon­day.
