Jack Warner is poised to make a return to active politics when he makes an appearance at a UNC local government campaign event in Macoya this evening.

Deputy Chairman of the UNC, Khadijah Ameen, confirmed Mr. Warner’s reunion in a media conference yesterday, saying it was part of the UNC’s election strategy to join forces against the PNM. She also cited Gary Griffith’s alliance with the UNC with his party, the National Transformation Alliance.

“Mr Warner, in the area he has been living for many years, the Lopinot/ Bon Air West constituency also offers their UNC candidates, and so you will have collaboration with political parties in terms of campaigning, in terms of strategy as well as candidates. So it is in keeping with that accommodation that you will see Mr Warner, Mr Griffith and others on the political platform,” Ameen said.

Warner, a former UNC chairman and ministerbroke ranks with the UNC a decade ago, forming the Independent Liberal Party.

He recently met with Ameen, UNC activists and supporters, at the UNC office in Tunapuna.

“This is a major development in the political landscape of Trinidad & Tobago in the context of Mrs Persad- Bissessar joining forces, collaborating with Mr Gary Griffith and Mr Warner on behalf of the respective political parties to create a common platform,” Opposition MP Rudranath Indarsingh said.
