Our Parliament has been reduced to a fish market with members jostling for 5 mins of infamy. Is this the example our representatives want to set for our youth looking on?

— Mickela (@mickelapanday) October 21, 2021

Leader of the Movement for Social Justice (MSJ) David Abdulah said, \"Does the UNC understand what they are doing? Their actions are seeking to dangerously divide the country. It is not about democracy. They are laying the basis for justifying why their motion will not succeed.

\"This is a serious issue but I am reminded of Explainer's Calypso – In Parliament they kicksin. The motion will be defeated

No one abstained from the vote.\r\n\n[caption id=\"attachment_920231\" align=\"alignnone\" width=\"798\"] The Electoral College rejected a motion filed by Opposition Leader Kamla Persad-Bissessar to investigate the removal of President Paula-Mae Weekes from office.
