FALLOUT
PORT OF SPAIN, Trinidad - Jack Warner’s victory in Chaguanas West has laid bare some uncertainties within the People’s Partnership coalition. The People’s Partnership, which won 29 seats in May 2010, started out with a 21/6/2 equation—21 United National Congress (UNC) members, six from the Congress of the People (COP) and two from the Tobago Organisation of the People (TOP). By yesterday, with the resignation of St Joseph MP Herbert Volney from the UNC and the electoral success of the Independent Liberal Party (ILP) leader Warner, the UNC numbers were reduced to 19. And there is now doubt about the stability of those numbers since observers feel that with the strength of Warner’s victory, the ILP could serve as a rallying point for those who see themselves as marginalised within the coalition.
