Local comedian Errol Fabien is among three new prospective candidates revealed by the NTA to contest the upcoming polls.

He is eyeing the seat of Point Fortin, currently held by the PNM.

The other new NTA hopefuls are Alvin Cudjoe for La Horquetta/Talparo and Richard Thomas for Port of Spain North/St Ann’s West.

Meanwhile, on Saturday, the UNC presented several new prospective candidates that included former policeman Roger Alexander for Tunapuna.

The party rejected two incumbent MPs, Rushton Paray and Anita Haynes-Alleyne, for new faces in Mayaro and Tabaquite resepectively.

NTA leader Gary Griffith says his party is open to these rejected UNC candidates and party dissidents.
