UNC selects candidates for Belmont East and Barataria Local Government seats
The United National Congress is pleased to announce that it has completed screening for the local government seats of Belmont East and Barataria.
UNC Elections Officer Mr. Don Sylvester announced that Mrs. Sharon Maraj-Dharam will contest the Barataria seat, and Ms. Lianna Babb-Gonzales is the candidate for Belmont East.
“We are pleased with the response to our call for nominations for these two seats, which have been without representation at the local level for far too long,” Mr. Sylvester said.
“The UNC welcomes both candidates, who have strong ties with their respective communities, and have been working to promote cultural and sporting activities to assist residents, particularly young people,” Mr. Sylvester said. “In light of the failure of the Rowley-led PNM to provide for the needs of these communities and indeed across Trinidad and Tobago, the UNC expects that the electors of both seats will demonstrate their support for them in the upcoming poll on Monday July 16th, 2018.”
