People’s National Movement (PNM) candidate for La Horquetta/Talparo Foster Cummings is accusing the United National Congress (UNC) of engaging in voter suppression tactics in the lead-up to the General Election.
Speaking at a meeting in his constituency on Monday night, Cummings claimed the UNC has been paying substantial sums to social media influencers to discourage young people from voting. He claimed influencers were being paid as much as $10,000 per week in exchange for posting anti-PNM content.
Reading from a document, he said the content is required to include the phrase “yellow is the code” while criticising the PNM and targeting Prime Minister Stuart Young and former prime minister Dr Keith Rowley.
