Garrido–Lowe vows to resist TUF ouster

Valerie Garrido–Lowe

Valerie Garrido–Lowe yesterday vowed to resist attempts to oust her from The United Force (TUF), saying that she is still leader until party members decide otherwise.

Although the Full Court on Tuesday dismissed an injunction that restrained former party leader Manzoor Nadir and party chairman Ismail Muhammed from performing leadership functions, Garrido-Lowe said it did not mean that Nadir was automatically re-installed as leader. An angry Muhammed yesterday said that Garrido-Lowe had no mandate to perform the functions of leader of TUF. He said that the resolution passed on September 1 by executives meant that she could not make decisions on behalf of the party.

“The courts let this matter to rest with the party to decide within itself what is to be done,” she told
