The UNC congratulates all candidates who participated in our democratic process and thanks everyone for the energetic and clean campaign. Our party continues to grow from strength to strength, as we prepare to return good governance to Trinidad and Tobago. The election results show that our membership remains engaged in Party processes as we continue to build the UNC’s institutions. In just over two years the Keith Rowley led PNM has presided over the collapse of every sector; and with the new NATEX in place the UNC is ready to do work needed to put Trinidad and Tobago back on a path to sustainable development.
