The main opposition People’s National Movement (PNM) has called for the resignation of the People’s Partnership government demanding that fresh general elections be held.

The call comes as the controversy continues over the early proclamation of the legislation that critics say was aimed at ensuring the fraud cases against two party financiers were dropped.

Opposition Leader and PNM leader, Dr. Keith Rowley, says the opposition will not accept a government he has described as stained.

Rowley says the party will no longer support any legislative measure brought by the Kamla Persad Bissessar administration.
