UNC to appoint NAR aldermen

THE NAR will hold political office for the first time in 12 years, guaranteed, after the July 14 Local Government Elections, NAR leader Lennox Sankersingh told supporters on Saturday at the presentation of candidates at party headquarters at Victoria Square. He answered critics of the NAR-UNC electoral accommodation by saying that for each council the UNC wins, it was guaranteeing NAR one representative, pressumably an alderman. Sankersingh said: “The NAR will get a foothold in the corridors of power, one NAR representative in each UNC-NAR council, in addition to our 19 candidates. We are guaranteed representation in the corporations”. He noted the UNC currently holds seven corporations. Saying it was pointless to have good ideas without access to political office, Sankersingh assured those present that the accommodation had been approved by both the NAR National Executive and National Council.
