Winston Gypsy Peters is the winner of the National Extempo Competition, even as there continues to be criticisms of his decision to compete.

The national carnival commission chairman and Myron-B, went at each other in the finals at the kaiso house at the Queen’s Park Savannah last evening.

While he welcomes his 14^th victory in the competition Mr. Peters says, he does not understand what the debate is about.

He feels criticisms would have come regardless of a win or loss.

The last time he won the extempo competition was in 2017.

After some eliminations and biting picong among the performers, Mr. Peters and Myron-B became the finalists.

Myron-B had to settle for second place as was earlier predicted by Gypsy.

The night also saw the freestyle competition, which was won by Squeezy Rankin.
