National Transformation Alliance (NTA) political leader Gary Griffith has lambasted Opposition Leader Kamla Persad-Bissessar, calling the “coalition of interests” a ploy to deceive the public.

On Tuesday, before the screening of general election candidates at the United National Congress’ (UNC) Chaguanas headquarters, Persad-Bissessar announced that the UNC would partner with the Laventille Outreach for Vertical Enrichment (LOVE) movement, the Progressive Empowerment Party (PEP), the Oilfields Workers’ Trade Union (OWTU), and other unions.

She stated that the UNC was not interested in working with the NTA due to Griffith’s “disrespect” towards her executive.
