No coalition here!
That's the message from Political Leader of the All People's Party, who claims she was contacted by the United National Congress inviting her to meet with the party.
Alicia Boucher has the details.
Transcript
00:00All People's Party leader Kizelle Jackson took to her Facebook account bearing receipts.
00:05She addressed her followers, revealing a WhatsApp message she received, allegedly from campaign
00:10manager of the United National Congress Farooz Khan, inviting her to a meeting with him and
00:15General Secretary Peter Kanhai at the UNC's headquarters.
00:19The message indicated that it was a request from political leader of the party Kamala
00:23Prasad Bisesa.
00:25Jackson's response to the alleged message was a public one.
00:54Meanwhile, political leader of the National Transformation Alliance Gary Griffith is defending
00:59the legitimacy of third parties, including his own.
01:03He emphasizes that alternatives to the two major political parties have been needed for
01:08years.
01:09Griffith pointed out that the last time the country had a real third party option was
01:13with the Congress of the People in 2007, ahead of the 2008 general election.
01:20Which means that persons between the age of 18 to 36, you never had that third choice.
01:25This gives you that opportunity.
01:27People who try to discredit these third parties, they do not know better.
01:31It shows their ignorance.
01:32What is even interesting is Kamala Prasad Bisesa refers to us as pop-up parties, irrelevant
01:37parties.
01:38But I don't know if you all knew Kamala Prasad Bisesa was in the NAR in 1991 as that third
01:42pop-up party and I think she lost her deposit.
01:44So it shows the hypocrisy of the lady and anybody in the UNC who criticize us.
01:48In response to the message Jackson allegedly received from the UNC, Griffith has this to
01:54say.
01:55The UNC has spent all of their time attacking third parties, but up until today, they are
01:59contacting Kizelle Jackson and begging her for a play and Kizelle Jackson just ran Kamala
02:03like a dog by the way.
02:04Imagine Kizelle Jackson chasing Kamala Prasad Bisesa.
02:07So we have no intention to form any political marriage of convenience.
02:12We do not believe in political domestic violence, which is what I encountered in 2010 to 2015.
