The Pa­tri­ot­ic Front has of­fi­cial­ly an­nounced sev­en more can­di­dates for the up­com­ing 2025 gen­er­al elec­tions. The par­ty's lead­er­ship de­scribed the new batch of can­di­dates as a “fear­less set of lead­ers and in­no­va­tors,” em­pha­siz­ing that these in­di­vid­u­als are not tra­di­tion­al ca­reer politi­cians, but in­stead, prob­lem-solvers, ed­u­ca­tors, en­tre­pre­neurs, health­care pro­fes­sion­als, and com­mu­ni­ty ad­vo­cates.

Four mem­bers of the UNC’s La Brea Con­stituen­cy Ex­ec­u­tive have re­signed from their posts and from the par­ty. In a let­ter is­sued to UNC chair­man Dav­en­dranath Tan­coo, gen­er­al sec­re­tary Pe­ter Kan­hai, and po­lit­i­cal leader Kam­la Per­sad-Bisses­sar dat­ed March 9, the con­stituen­cy’s wel­fare of­fi­cer Jes­si­ca Wat­son-Girod, par­ty or­gan­is­er Chinelle Roberts, elec­tions of­fi­cer Nico­la Sylvester, and sec­re­tary Leemoy Lee an­nounced their res­ig­na­tions with im­me­di­ate ef­fect.

The mar­gin of vic­to­ry for the Peo­ple’s Na­tion­al Move­ment (PNM) in La Hor­quet­ta/Tal­paro in the 2025 gen­er­al elec­tion will be even greater than it was in 2020, says in­cum­bent PNM MP Fos­ter Cum­mings.

Once de­scribed as the right-hand man of La Hor­quet­ta/Tal­paro MP Fos­ter Cum­mings, Phillip Watts emerged as the MP’s po­lit­i­cal ri­val as he walked the con­stituen­cy wear­ing a dark blue jer­sey with yel­low stripes and the Unit­ed Na­tion­al Con­gress lo­go on his chest.

Be­fore every Gen­er­al Elec­tion in Trinidad and To­ba­go, com­pet­ing par­ties hop­ing to form the next gov­ern­ment present man­i­festos de­tail­ing goals they in­tend to achieve if elect­ed to pow­er.

Trinidad and To­ba­go is fac­ing "mor­tal dan­ger," warned Con­gress of the Peo­ple (COP) leader Prakash Ra­mad­har, as he pre­dict­ed a bleak fu­ture if the rul­ing Peo­ple’s Na­tion­al Move­ment (PNM) re­mains in pow­er for an­oth­er term.

When it comes to the tran­si­tion of gov­er­nance in Trinidad and To­ba­go, there’s been no short­age of con­tro­ver­sy, whether it’s be­ing ap­point­ed prime min­is­ter due to the death of a sit­ting leader, or through a snap elec­tion, the cit­i­zens of T&T have seen it all. Or have we?

Unit­ed Na­tion­al Con­gress leader Kam­la Per­sad-Bisses­sar says the par­ty will not be desta­bilised by peo­ple who have since turned their backs on it in “or­ches­trat­ed res­ig­na­tions.”

Con­stituents of Ch­agua­nas West are seem­ing­ly di­vid­ed by the de­ci­sion of their MP, Di­nesh Ram­bal­ly, to with­draw his can­di­da­cy from the up­com­ing gen­er­al elec­tion.
