The Citizen First Party (CPF) announced its upcoming launch in a video address, with its leader sharply criticizing the current UNC government and calling for a vote of no confidence in the 2027 general elections.<\/p>\n<p>The speaker, representing the CPF, accused the UNC of &#8216;revenge politics&#8217; and failing to deliver on promises made to the electorate. &#8216;A vote for the UNC was supposed to reverse PNM hardship policies, but citizens now face broken pledges,&#8217; he said. The party is positioning itself as an alternative for the youth, who he claimed need relief, opportunity, and a real future.<\/p>\n<p>The CPF leader also alleged that the UNC government has mismanaged the economy, citing borrowing of $800 million US, and promised to prosecute corrupt ministers if the CPF comes to power. The party is urging citizens to treat the next elections as a referendum on the UNC&#8217;s performance.<\/p>\n<p class=\"tg-source-credit\"><em>Article and image source: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/reel\/2572354809848206\/?rdid=AHKW3UojMp8cTxEC&amp;share_url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.facebook.com%2Fshare%2Fv%2F1NdGnHaN3A%2F\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">facebook.com<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>New Political Patty CPF launches, calls for no confidence vote Against UNC<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":2626,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[62],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-2627","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-trinidad-and-tobago"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/tringlobe.news\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2627","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/tringlobe.news\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/tringlobe.news\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tringlobe.news\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tringlobe.news\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=2627"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/tringlobe.news\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2627\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tringlobe.news\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/2626"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/tringlobe.news\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=2627"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tringlobe.news\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=2627"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tringlobe.news\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=2627"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
