Panday: Lose your life but not Ortoire-Mayaro

UNITED National Congress (UNC) political leader Basdeo Panday has warned of dire consequences if his party loses the marginal constituency of Ortoire/Mayaro. He told supporters at a political meeting in Barrackpore on Tuesday night that the People's National Movement had trained their guns on the constituency and the main electoral battleground had shifted from Tunapuna.

Panday called on UNC supporters to defend the constituency with their lives.

"Is better you lose your life than allow the PNM to gain victory on October 7 because of Ortoire/Mayaro," Panday said during the meeting at Strange Village Recreation Ground in a known UNC stronghold in the constituency.

He said the constituency was emerging as the most "marginal" of the three marginal seats and the PNM was "concentrating" heavily in Mayaro. Panday said he would be moving around the constituency on election day. He jokingly remarked: "And if I see your finger not red, you might lose it."

The UNC leader told party supporters the red voting ink "must represent the blood of your forefathers who worked to build Trinidad and Tobago into what it is today". Princes Town candidate Subhas Panday declared that the Jamaat-al-Muslimeen was campaigning for the PNM in Ortoire/Mayaro through "cells" in St Mary's Village, Ecclesville, Bois Bois and Marac.

Also speaking at the meeting was Winston "Gypsy" Peters, the incumbent MP.
