Narine: PNM taking Siparia and Sangre Grande

AT LEAST two UNC-controlled Regional Corporations will swing towards the ruling PNM in the upcoming local government elections, Local Government Minister Jarette Narine predicted yesterday during a tour of URP construction projects in Penal.

He said the Siparia and Sangre Grande Regional Corporations would go to the PNM, and major inroads would be made into two other Corporations. “I feel Sangre Grande will return to the PNM, and that Siparia will also return to the PNM,” he said. “And we have an excellent chance in the Mayaro/Rio Claro area, and even in Debe/Penal, where we have no seats.”
