2024 United National Congress internal election

The United National Congress's internal elections took place on 15 June 2024. Members of the National Executive (NATEX) of the party were elected, with the exception of the office of political leader. The candidates were split between two teams: Star lead by Kamla Persad-Bissessar, the party's current political leader, Opposition Leader of Trinidad and Tobago, and MP for Siparia, and United Patriots lead by Rushton Paray, the MP for Mayaro.[8] The Star team claimed an overwhelming victory is what was called the worst internal election in the party's history.[9]
