Hours af­ter she was re­ject­ed by the par­ty she was faith­ful to, in­cum­bent Peo­ple's Na­tion­al Move­ment To­co-San­gre Grande MP Glen­da Jen­nings-Smith post­ed a mes­sage on so­cial me­dia that one man planned a con­spir­a­cy to re­move her re­move and her sto­ry will be told.

“Thanks every­one. Es­pe­cial­ly Ro­han. I am out. But I am not done when one man can plan a con­spir­a­cy to re­move an in­cum­bent. My sto­ry will be told,” Jen­nings-Smith wrote on Face­book Fri­day af­ter be­ing re­placed by for­mer West In­dies and T&T crick­eter Mervyn Dil­lon.

In re­sponse to the post, how­ev­er, Sinanan, a PNM deputy po­lit­i­cal leader, said, “I am bound­ed by their de­ci­sion. I have noth­ing per­son­al­ly against any can­di­date. I have not been pro­mot­ing any in­di­vid­ual can­di­date.”

He said a lot of peo­ple feel that he had in­flu­ence in se­lect­ing the To­co-San­gre Grande can­di­date but this was not true.

“I par­tic­u­lar­ly try to stay out of this,” Sinanan said, not­ing he shares a close re­la­tion­ship with Jen­nings-Smith.

“At no point in time Glen­da and I have been at log­ger­heads. As a mat­ter of fact, I was very in­stru­men­tal in bring­ing Glen­da for­ward to of­fer her­self as a can­di­date in the 2015 gen­er­al elec­tions. At the end of the day I think Glen­da would have done a very good job. At this time the par­ty did not se­lect her.”

Asked if he tried to un­der­mine Jen­nings-Smith, Sinanan said he had no rea­son to.

“I did not seek any nom­i­na­tion for any con­stituen­cy.”

Calls and text mes­sages to Jen­nings-Smith’s cell­phone went unan­swered Friday.
