Opposition Leader Kamla Persad-Bissessar today announced the 24 candidates who will fight on the ticket of the United National Congress party at the May 24 general elections. The announcement was made by Ms. Persad-Bissessar at a media conference this afternoon the UNC’s party headquarters, Rienzi Complex, Couva.

So here's what I predict at this stage very quickly. The red indicates win for sure. So 18 from the UNC. Now the ORANGE indicates if the voter turn out increases (as I have mentioned before) and the COP voters turn out. Now its up to the COP to reveal their cards.

So far the COP has been proving exactly what the COP is good at. The logistics of planning and action behind the scenes. I have to write my Week in review, which I think is better that trying to write every time there is some new bobol brought on. So stay tuned to that.
