The UNC’s candidate for Cunupia Vandana Mohit, and PNM activist Ken Valley of St Thomas Village, Chaguanas.
Over the years discussions around religion and politics always spark controversy and ‘bacchanal’ between friends and rival parties.
It also brews conversations on racism – cause and effect.

Several photos have been circulating on Facebook showing somewhat of ‘political unity’ between the two major parties and it brings into question whether or not it is the politicians who tamper with the callaloo till it’s spoilt.
