The 'UNC Sol­diers' slate has called on UNC leader Prime Min­is­ter Kam­la Per­sad-Bisses­sar to in­ter­vene in the UNC's ex­ec­u­tive elec­tion cam­paign. Sunil Ramjits­ingh, who heads the slate, wrote to Per­sad-Bisses­sar yes­ter­day ex­press­ing dis­ap­point­ment with the han­dling of sev­er­al as­pects of the cam­paign.

Ramjits­ingh said, "The elec­tion seems to be head­ing along a path of con­fu­sion and chaos or is shroud­ed in a lev­el of se­cre­cy and mys­tery, ei­ther of which are un­der­min­ing by the minute, pub­lic con­fi­dence in the in­tegri­ty of the elec­tion process, the mem­bers of the elec­tions com­mit­tee and the cur­rent NA­TEX (na­tion­al ex­ec­u­tive) of­fi­cers." Among con­cerns, the team stat­ed, "Par­ty mem­bers have no knowl­edge of the iden­ti­ties of all the can­di­dates for the 17 po­si­tions up for elec­tion to date."

The team said it was nev­er made clear un­der whose or what au­thor­i­ty the re­cent de­ci­sion to ex­tend the nom­i­na­tion dead­line was tak­en. It was al­so not­ed that spe­cial vot­ing had been post­poned to a date to be an­nounced, there was no feed­back to the team's ini­tial con­cerns, and can­di­dates have not been pro­vid­ed with the list of fi­nan­cial mem­bers to can­vas. This was done in the Jan­u­ary 2010 elec­tion, it was not­ed.

The team al­so said can­di­dates have not been told where the polling sta­tions are or how many of them there are. "The pre­vail­ing chaos due to the ex­ten­sion of the nom­i­na­tion dead­line, de­mands the ur­gent in­ter­ven­tion of the cur­rent NA­TEX," the team stat­ed. Ramjits­ingh said the sit­u­a­tion has im­pli­ca­tions for the Gov­ern­ment, since many of the cur­rent na­tion­al ex­ec­u­tive of­fi­cers are se­nior mem­bers of the Gov­ern­ment.
