Warner’s ILP will decide on membership in People’s Partnership gov

PORT OF SPAIN, Trinidad, CMC – Interim leader of the Independent Liberal Party (ILP), Austin Jack” Warner Tuesday said it would be “premature” to say whether or not his party would seek membership of the People’s Partnership government following his convincing victory in the Chaguanas West by-election here on Monday night.
Speaking on a television programme, Warner, who trounced the People’s Partnership candidate Khadijah Ameen by a two to one margin, said that his party would be meeting later this week to discuss the issue.
During the campaign for the by-election that had been occasion after Warner himself resigned as parliamentary representative in April in order to seek “re-validation” from the electorate, Prime Minister Kamla Persad Bissessar laid out conditions for her former national security minister to re-enter the four-party coalition.
