Less than a month before Local Government Elections on August 14 comes word that embattled founder of the Independent Liberal Party (ILP), Jack Warner, is now with the United National Congress (UNC).
However, the nature of his position within the party is still unclear.
Warner’s return was inadvertently leaked by UNC councillor Adrian Ali on Friday, after he shared a photo of the former FIFA vice president standing next to St Augustine MP Khadijah Ameen, the party’s deputy political leader, on his Facebook page, though the image was pulled later.
However, sometime later a flyer was uploaded to the UNC’s Facebook page informing the public of a joint meeting on Monday 24th July where Warner is tipped to give an address.
The party will hold its Local Government Elections campaign meeting at the Centre of Excellence, Macoya, on that day.
It will be his first time on a UNC platform in ten years.
Leader of the National Transformation Alliance Gary Griffith will also take the stage where the party’s political leader, Opposition Leader Kamla Persad-Bissessar, is expected to be the featured speaker.
Warner is expected to speak just before her.
