If he said he was sold out in that snap election (of 1995) it was his arrogance that sold him out,&#8221; Kuei Tung said. <\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/guardian.co.tt\/news\/politics\/2010\/05\/06\/kuei-tung-denies-knowing-election-date\">Kuei Tung denies knowing election date<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Keui Tung sold out PNM By Yvonne Webb Published: 5 May 2010 Prime Minister Patrick Manning last night fingered former UNC minister Brian Keui Tung as the person who sold out the date of the 1995 election to former Prime Minister Basdeo Panday.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"ngg_post_thumbnail":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[21,310,30,7,142],"tags":[140,361,82,1015,49],"class_list":["post-3118","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-complaints","category-elections-general-tt","category-pnm","category-politics","category-unc","tag-basdeo-panday","tag-brian-keui-tung","tag-patrick-manning","tag-politics","tag-tt-govt"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.trinidadandtobagonews.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3118","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.trinidadandtobagonews.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.trinidadandtobagonews.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.trinidadandtobagonews.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/4"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.trinidadandtobagonews.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=3118"}],"version-history":[{"count":5,"href":"http:\/\/www.trinidadandtobagonews.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3118\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":3122,"href":"http:\/\/www.trinidadandtobagonews.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3118\/revisions\/3122"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.trinidadandtobagonews.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=3118"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.trinidadandtobagonews.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=3118"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.trinidadandtobagonews.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=3118"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
