\nPrime Minister Kamla Persad-Bissessar yesterday did trump and follow-suit in resoundingly winning the local government poll after her emphatic general election victory two months earlier.<\/p>\n

Kamla: People’s victory complete<\/a>
\nTWO MONTHS after the People’s Partnership scored a resounding 29-12 General Election win over the People’s National Movement (PNM) on May 24, the Partnership “completed the victory” by decimating the PNM 11-3 in the Local Government Elections yesterday.<\/p>\n

Opposition supporters stayed away, says Kamla<\/a>
\nTHE low voter turnout at yesterday’s polls was caused by People’s National Movement (pnm) members withholding their vote as a sign of protest, Prime Minister Kamla Persad-Bissessar said last night. <\/p>\n

Rowley: PNM needed a miracle<\/a>
\nIT WOULD have taken “a miracle” for the PNM to win yesterday’s Local Government Elections, PNM political leader Dr Keith Rowley said last night as he conceded defeat in the polls, arguing there was not enough time for the party to regroup after the May 24 General Election.<\/p>\n

And now, time to deliver<\/a>
\nRelatively early last evening, the People’s National Movement (PNM) Political Leader Keith Rowley conceded defeat in yesterday’s Local Government Elections. As campaign manager John Rahael had earlier done, Dr Rowley projected readiness to take in stride an outcome the leader characterised as a “comprehensive” defeat. <\/p>\n

And now on to the budget<\/a>
\nYesterday’s local government election brings to an end one of the most intense periods of democratic activity in this country’s history.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
