    COP members must stay out UNC polls–Ramesh

    Rad­hi­ca Sookraj

    Tabaquite MP Ramesh Lawrence Ma­haraj says he has a COP mem­ber­ship list and has start­ed match­ing it to the UNC's elec­toral list to de­ter­mine how many COP mem­bers are reg­is­tered to vote.

    Ma­haraj made the rev­e­la­tion at a po­lit­i­cal meet­ing at the Rousil­lac Com­mu­ni­ty Cen­tre on Thurs­day night.

"The mem­ber­ship of the COP must not be en­cour­aged to vote in the UNC's in­ter­nal elec­tions, be­cause the con­sti­tu­tion pro­hibits any oth­er mem­ber from vot­ing in the UNC," he said.

The MP al­so hint­ed his will­ing­ness to strike a deal with Pan­day, say­ing: "This is an im­por­tant elec­tion which means life or death for the UNC...If you make the wrong choice there will be no more UNC. "Pan­day and I may have had our dif­fer­ences, but there is more
