Former international football executive Austin 'Jack' Warner has launched his bid for reelection to the Trinidad and Tobago parliament accusing some of his former government colleagues of being ungrateful.
The former national security minister, who resigned his ministerial post as well as chairmanship of the United National Congress (UNC), told supporters that he was responsible for all of the ministers being in office.
Warner resigned in the wake of a damning report by the Confederation of North, Central American and Caribbean Association Football (CONCACAF) that was released in Panama last month.
The report by the CONCACAF Integrity Committee, accused Warner, who headed the body for 20 years, and American Chuck Blazer, of being fraudulent in their management of the confederation's affair.
