Op­po­si­tion Leader Kam­la Per­sad-Bisses­sar says the UNC is ready for the up­com­ing Gen­er­al Elec­tions which will be held on April 28.

In an im­me­di­ate re­sponse to Guardian Me­dia, she said, “The UNC is ready, and we will do what PNM MPs failed to do which is to pro­tect our coun­try from be­ing gift­ed to a self­ish se­lect group of Young’s fi­nanciers.”

Per­sad-Bisses­sar went fur­ther in adding, “Young hur­ried­ly called the date to pre­empt the UNC le­gal ac­tion that was com­ing re­gard­ing his il­le­git­i­mate and il­le­gal anoint­ing as Prime Min­is­ter.

Young and the PNM ful­ly well know that his ap­point­ment is il­le­gal and un­con­sti­tu­tion­al. his ap­point­ment would have been shown to be un­con­sti­tu­tion­al in the courts and he would then be forced to face a PNM in­ter­nal elec­tion be­fore the GE. Pen­ny would have dec­i­mat­ed him in any in­ter­nal elec­tion and the PNM fi­nanciers backed coup would have been put down.”
