Gary Grif­fith has re­signed from the Na­tion­al Trans­for­ma­tion Al­liance.

In a state­ment on Face­book on Thurs­day, the NTA said, “This de­ci­sion, though deeply sig­nif­i­cant, was made with thought­ful re­flec­tion and in the spir­it of ac­count­abil­i­ty and in­tegri­ty that has al­ways guid­ed the NTA’s lead­er­ship.”

Along­side the res­ig­na­tion of the po­lit­i­cal leader, sev­er­al mem­bers of the Gov­er­nance Team have al­so stepped down from their re­spec­tive po­si­tions.

Deputy Po­lit­i­cal Leader Com­man­der Nor­man Din­di­al has as­sumed the role of In­ter­im Po­lit­i­cal Leader, en­sur­ing con­ti­nu­ity and sta­ble lead­er­ship dur­ing this pe­ri­od. In­ter­nal elec­tions for all gov­er­nance team po­si­tions are sched­uled to take place on Sep­tem­ber 5.

The state­ment said, “These changes mark a mo­ment of tran­si­tion — not of dis­so­lu­tion, but of re­new­al. The NTA re­mains firm­ly com­mit­ted to the prin­ci­ples on which it was found­ed: peo­ple-first lead­er­ship, trans­for­ma­tion­al gov­er­nance, and a fu­ture-fo­cused agen­da for Trinidad and To­ba­go.”
