Mem­ber of Par­lia­ment for Cou­va North Rudranath In­dars­ingh has con­grat­u­lat­ed Kam­la Per­sad-Bisses­sar on her vic­to­ry in yes­ter­day's in­ter­nal elec­tions. He al­so con­grat­u­lat­ed the Star Team on a re­sound­ing vic­to­ry for their slate in win­ning their bid for the re­spec­tive roles on our par­ty's Ex­ec­u­tive.
The fol­low­ing is a press re­lease from MP Rudranath In­dars­ingh:

To­day, I con­grat­u­late the Ho­n­ourable Mrs. Kam­la Per­sad-Bisses­sar on her vic­to­ry at yes­ter­day's in­ter­nal polls, re­sult­ing in her re­tain­ing the post of Po­lit­i­cal Leader of our great par­ty, the Unit­ed Na­tion­al Con­gress.I al­so wish to con­grat­u­late mem­bers of the Star Team on a re­sound­ing vic­to­ry for their slate in win­ning their bid for the re­spec­tive roles on our par­ty's Ex­ec­u­tive. 

I al­so wish to con­grat­u­late Dr. Fuad Khan, Dr. Glenn Ra­mad­hars­ingh and Mrs. Ra­mona Ram­di­al on their sports­man­ship as op­pos­ing can­di­dates, and for their re­sound­ing be­lief in our Par­ty which led them to con­test their posts re­spec­tive­ly. But most of all, I wish to con­grat­u­late the 13,000 UNC mem­bers who braved rains, light­ning and thun­der to stand with their par­ty and vote in yes­ter­day's in­ter­nal elec­tion. 

In a cul­ture where po­lit­i­cal com­pla­cen­cy is ped­dled as the norm, these UNC mem­bers changed the nar­ra­tive to show the strength of their re­solve and the strength of our par­ty. Such re­solve and ded­i­ca­tion is crit­i­cal as the coun­try moves clos­er to­wards a lo­cal gov­ern­ment elec­tion and to­wards an­swer­ing the call to re­move the PNM from of­fice. 

My ad­mi­ra­tion and grat­i­tude goes out to the vot­ers in Cou­va South, who have con­sis­tent­ly heed­ed the UNC's calls over the years. Cou­va South con­tin­ues to be a pil­lar of the UNC be­cause of the com­mit­ment and re­solve of our of­fice staff, our Chair­man and mem­bers of the con­stituen­cy ex­ec­u­tive, our par­ty arms, coun­cil­lors and, most im­por­tant­ly, our mem­bers and sup­port­ers. 

Par­ty arms and con­stituen­cy ex­ec­u­tives across the coun­try must al­so be con­grat­u­lat­ed for their valiant ef­fort in brav­ing the weath­ers and to push to­wards the polls. It was clear that al­though on the out­side the skies were full of thun­der and rain, with­in our hearts the ris­ing sun shone bright­ly and beau­ti­ful­ly, fu­el­ing our de­ter­mi­na­tion to stand with our par­ty and heed the call of our now in­cum­bent Po­lit­i­cal Leader. 

May the ris­ing sun con­tin­ue to shine, and shine ever brighter, as we strength­en the UNC day by day, and as we fight to put Trinidad and To­ba­go back on a road of peace, bread and jus­tice for all.
