ALMOST one week after holding a press conference to call for internal elections in the United National Congress (UNC), Mayaro MP Rushton Paray says he will no longer engage the media on the issue.
His statement comes after his press conference at the auditorium of the Couva Chamber of Commerce on March 22, his UNC political leader Kamla Persad-Bissessar saying that he was a financier of the People’s National Movement (PNM) and Oropouche MP Dr Roodal Moonilal noting that Paray “absconded” from at least two meetings with Persad-Bissessar.
On Wednesday, Paray issued the following statement:
“After carefully considering the various statements made by my fellow Parliamentary colleagues, I am opting not to engage in the internal party elections through the media.
“I maintain an open line of communication with all my colleagues. My contact information, including my mobile number and email address, remains unchanged, and I welcome direct dialogue at any time.
“I appreciate the attention given to this significant matter by both the party membership and the nation as a whole. I have advocated for the internal elections to proceed in accordance with our constitution, and I eagerly await the announcement of the election date. I reaffirm my steadfast loyalty and dedication to the United National Congress.”
