THE People’s National Movement has chosen Arima Mayor Lisa Morris-Julian to represent the constituency of D’Abadie/O’Meara in the August 10 general elections.
This comes days after retired Brigadier Ancil Antoine’s candidacy was withdrawn for comments he made about the United States at a campaign launch event.
Morris-Julian was among six nominees presented by the PNM’s D’Abadie/O’Meara executive to be screened for the seat.
Screening was held at Queen’s Hall on Tuesday evening and Morris-Julian was given the nod by the party’s screening committee with the announcement being made by PNM Public Relations Officer Laurel Lezama-Lee Sing.
On her Facebook page, Lezama-Lee Sing wrote, “Congrats are in order to Her Worship Councillor Lisa Morris Julian on her selection as the PNM’s candidate for the constituency of D’Abadie/ O’Meara! And that’s a wrap folks! 41 PNM candidates!”
