00:00 Speaking on the I-95.5 FM morning show on Thursday, Fuad Abubakar sought to clarify
00:05 the present status of his political party, the New National Vision, as he is contesting
00:10 the Belmont North and West Electoral District in the local government elections on August
00:15 14th as a candidate for the Progressive Democratic Patriots.
00:20 We continue, we continue.
00:22 The support that I have with the NNV has been integral in working in this district and a
00:29 couple other districts as well to propel our candidates forward under this banner of PDP.
00:38 So what exactly is the agreement?
00:40 So we are contesting eight districts in total as amalgamation underneath the PDP bamboo or
00:50 whatever symbol you want to call it.
00:53 And we feel very strongly that this is an opportune moment to free ourselves of the
01:01 weight of the PNM in Port of Spain.
01:04 Mr. Bakker, the son of the later leader of the Jamaat al-Muslimiyah, Yasin Abubakar,
01:08 explained.
01:09 I would have sat down and spoke to Mr. Watson Duke for some time about what my vision for
01:18 Trinidad and Tobago is, the progressive place that I want it to be, even politically.
01:26 And he would have corresponded with his ideology of people before politics, of bringing real
01:33 representation to Trinidad and Tobago.
01:37 And it is in that understanding and policy that we have decided to work together.
