LOYSE VIN­CENT

The Pro­gres­sive De­mo­c­ra­t­ic Pa­tri­ots (PDP) has joined forces with the To­ba­go For­wards (TF) to face the Peo­ples Na­tion­al Move­ment (PNM) in the next To­ba­go House of As­sem­bly Elec­tions.

Deputy Po­lit­i­cal Leader of the PDP, Far­ley Au­gus­tine, re­vealed the names of the can­di­dates on the PDP slate on so­cial me­dia on No­vem­ber 9.  Among the per­sons list­ed was Pas­tor Ter­ance Baynes, who re­cent­ly was ap­point­ed the Po­lit­i­cal Leader of the To­ba­go For­wards; at­tor­ney Christlyn Moore for­mer­ly held the po­si­tion. 

Au­gus­tine said af­ter care­ful de­lib­er­a­tion, the par­ty de­cid­ed to join forces with the TF, which has put their own op­er­a­tions “on hold” to form the coali­tion.

“And the par­ty agreed to go with the coali­tion,” he ex­plained, “as the ob­jec­tive is to se­lect can­di­dates that are com­mu­ni­ty-ori­ent­ed, with a pas­sion for ser­vice.” 

The can­di­date launch was streamed live on So­cial Me­dia from a class­room at Spey­side where Au­gus­tine said:

“We are com­ing to you hum­ble in a sim­ple class­room where I be­gan my jour­ney as a teacher.”
