Incumbent UNC chairman Jack Warner says his fight is not within the People's Partnership. The Works and Infrastructure Minister made the statement while speaking to supporters during a meeting at Thick Village Community Centre, Fyzabad on Wednesday night. Warner said, "What you see in the UNC from time to time are familiar tiffs as each member jockeys for the attention of a favourite parent." Warner said his fight was not to bring the party into disrepute but to marshal all its forces to fight against one common foe. He said the road had been a tough one for him in the UNC.
"In 2009, I was humiliated, berated even abus when I was locked out of Rienzi Complex and man-handled by a few but I took it all, I never abandoned the party. Warner said he should be re-elected because of his loyalty and compassion. "I have always been sober for the children of the UNC, making sensible not rash decisions for you my people of the UNC. I have always been among you, touching you, talking to you, walking with you. I am not just a picture on a truck or a voice on a speaker I have been with you always whether it is election time or not." Warner said he mobilised the party in less than four months to secure victory at the polls in the 2010 general election.
