It’s of­fi­cial, for­mer Pre­sid­ing Of­fi­cer of the To­ba­go House of As­sem­bly (THA) Dr Denise Tsoiat­fatt- An­gus, wants to lead the Peo­ple’s Na­tion­al Move­ment’s To­ba­go Coun­cil.

She re­signed from her post in the THA last month.

Tsoiat­fatt- An­gus, turned up at the PNM’s To­ba­go head­quar­ters, Robin­son Street, Scar­bor­ough on De­cem­ber 9, for her pa­pers to be checked dur­ing the par­ty’s pre­lim­i­nary nom­i­na­tion day ex­er­cise.

Speak­ing to the me­dia, Tsoiafat An­gus said she felt the par­ty’s lead­er­ship should be changed.

“The par­ty units feel dis­en­chant­ed right now they feel dis­con­nect­ed and there­fore what I will bring is the abil­i­ty to bridge that gap”

As po­lit­i­cal leader An­gus said she would en­sure that per­sons feel en­gaged and en­sure that they can be heard.

When asked if she felt it was time for a fe­male Leader. An­gus said, “in terms of per­for­mance and ca­pac­i­ty you give it to the best per­son for the job and I am the right woman.”

The group’s Pub­lic Re­la­tions Of­fi­cer Kwe­si DesVi­gnes al­so sub­mit­ted his pa­per­work for ver­i­fi­ca­tion by the elec­tion com­mit­tee. He en­dorsed the cur­rent po­lit­i­cal leader.

“I con­tin­ue to give full sup­port to the both Mr Kelvin Charles and Mr Stan­ford Cal­en­dar as Par­ty leader and Par­ty Chair­man col­lec­tive­ly. I’ve been work­ing close­ly with these men and I’ve learnt so much and I be­lieve that these men are best suit­ed to lead.”

Stan­ford Cal­len­der, the par­ty’s cur­rent chair­man, al­so took ad­van­tage of the op­por­tu­ni­ty to have his pa­per­work checked be­fore nom­i­na­tion day on De­cem­ber 16.

There are 17 po­si­tions up for grabs at the par­ty’s in­ter­nal elec­tions on Jan­u­ary 19, 2020.

Alvin Pas­call chairs the par­ty’s Elec­tion Ad­vi­so­ry Com­mit­tee.
