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.
