The Opposition UNC has accused the Governing PNM of delaying the elections amid unpopular Government sentiments.
Former Chairman of Tunapuna/Piarco Regional Corporation turned MP Khadijah Ameen further stated that it was not necessary to postpone local government elections to facilitate local government reform.
She claimed that the government is very unpopular with the electorate at this time as the rise in crime, poverty, joblessness and hardship has created a sense of injustice.
In a statement the former Senator and current Member of Parliament for St. Augustine said is clear that the PNM does not want to face the electorate at this time asserting that if they call the elections now they know they will lose.
