A for­mer Unit­ed Na­tion­al Con­gress (UNC) mem­ber is not ac­tive­ly con­sid­er­ing an in­vi­ta­tion to join the Na­tion­al Trans­for­ma­tion Al­liance (NTA) and con­test the gen­er­al elec­tion un­der the par­ty’s ban­ner.

Es­tate po­lice of­fi­cers and pri­vate se­cu­ri­ty firms say they are hope­ful but hes­i­tant that se­cu­ri­ty of­fi­cers would be made a pri­or­i­ty if the Unit­ed Na­tion­al Con­gress (UNC) forms the next gov­ern­ment.

The Unit­ed Na­tion­al Con­gress’ de­ci­sion to re­place Rush­ton Paray with Nicholas Mor­ris to do bat­tle for the Ma­yaro con­stituen­cy has elicit­ed a range of re­ac­tions from con­stituents.

Amid re­cent calls from Hu­man Rights Watch and the Unit­ed Na­tions to ex­pe­dite the repa­tri­a­tion of T&T na­tion­als from Syr­ia, Prime Min­is­ter Stu­art Young says he will re­quest a re­port from the Nizam Mo­hammed-led Repa­tri­a­tion Com­mit­tee on the gov­ern­ment’s ef­forts.
