United National Congress<\/a>COUDRAY COPS IT<\/a>
\nSan Fernando Mayor Marlene Coudray has copped a deputy leader position in the United National Congress (UNC) internal elections.<\/p>\n

…SHE came, she saw and she conquered!<\/a><\/p>\n

King Jack<\/a>
\nWORKS and Infrastructure Minister Jack Warner\u2019s popularity continues to grow by leaps and bounds within the United National Congress (UNC) as he convincingly beat his closest rival for chairmanship in the party\u2019s internal elections in Saturday, by a whopping 12,000 votes.

\nMoonilal to unsuccessful voters: Get regularised<\/a><\/p>\n

Manning\u2019s son at UNC elections<\/a>
\nTHE United National Congress (UNC) internal elections ballot-counting exercise on Saturday night had a surprise visitor in the person of David Manning \u2014 son of PNM San Fernando East MP Patrick Manning. <\/p>\n

Fuad: 80% of UNC membership rejected candidates<\/a>
\nIt was reported that only 20 per cent of the members eligible to vote in Saturday’s election turned up at polling stations throughout the country. <\/p>\n

As the dust settles<\/a>
\nAs far as the UNC goes, the election did settle some things, the most critical of which was the position of Jack Warner within the Persad-Bissessar Cabinet. In running as an independent against a slate promoted by the PM’s pick for her successor, Mr Warner sent a powerful signal of his personal and political strength within the party that she leads.<\/p>\n
