Kamla takes on EBC for errors with candidates

Persad-Bissessar is demanding a full retraction and correction of the publication from the EBC, and expressed difficulty in believing that the mistakes were “unintentional.” She highlighted the inaccuracies while speaking to a modest crowd of fired up UNC activists at the party’s cottage meeting on Wednesday night at the ASJA Girls College auditorium in San Fernando. The Form 46, which listed the names of all the candidates and their corresponding parties for the Local Government election, was published in a daily newspaper. However, several UNC candidates were listed as PNM candidates and, further, the UNC candidates for the Tunapuna district were completely left out.

Those incorrectly listed as UNC candidates were Zoraida Rodriguez-Martinez and Gioma Martinez-Norman contesting seats in the Port-of-Spain Corporation; Chulan Kheymweti contesting a seat in the Penal/Debe Corporation; Chris Hosein contesting a seat in the Princes Town Corporation; and Chanardaye Ramadharsingh contesting a seat in the Siparia Corporation.
