Charrandas Persaud
... that in 2018, Guyanese politician Charrandas Persaud voted against his own party in a vote of no confidence, causing his party to lose by one vote?Source: [1] "On Dec. 21, the MP set off a political firestorm when he made the unprecedented move of voting against his own government in a no-confidence motion tabled by the opposition, effectively triggering an early election." ... "But because the government — a coalition between A Partnership for National Unity (APNU) and the Alliance for Change (AFC) — won the 2015 election by just one seat, Persaud's vote in the no-confidence motion tabled by the opposing People's Progressive Party (PPP) passed by a margin of 33-32."

New enough, long enough, neutrally written, well referenced, no close paraphrasing seen. QPQ done. But the hook wording is confusing: he voted against his coalition, not his party, and the coalition fell as a result. I suggest this hook tweak:- ALT1: ... that in 2018, Guyanese politician Charrandas Persaud voted against his own government coalition in a no-confidence motion, causing the coalition to fall by one vote?
