The Trinidad and To­ba­go Coali­tion of Ser­vices In­dus­tries (TTC­SI) and the En­er­gy Cham­ber of Trinidad and To­ba­go have ex­tend­ed for­mal con­grat­u­la­tions to Kam­la Per­sad-Bisses­sar, and the Unit­ed Na­tion­al Con­gress (UNC) on their suc­cess in the 2025 Gen­er­al Elec­tion late last evening.

TTC­SI, in its state­ment which came soon af­ter the re­sults came in, ac­knowl­edged the con­ces­sion of de­feat by the Peo­ple’s Na­tion­al Move­ment (PNM) and recog­nised the UNC’s ef­forts dur­ing the cam­paign pe­ri­od. The or­gan­i­sa­tion de­scribed the re­sult as a re­flec­tion of the work un­der­tak­en and of­fered en­cour­age­ment to the broad­er team un­der the lead­er­ship of Per­sad-Bisses­sar.

TTC­SI al­so con­grat­u­lat­ed Far­ley Au­gus­tine and the To­ba­go Peo­ple’s Par­ty (TPP) on what it de­scribed as a sig­nif­i­cant de­vel­op­ment in To­ba­go af­ter the par­ty wres­tled the two To­ba­go seats away from the PNM. The state­ment ref­er­enced Au­gus­tine’s lead­er­ship qual­i­ties and not­ed the rel­e­vance of the TPP’s per­for­mance to the To­ba­go elec­torate.

Reaf­firm­ing its role as the na­tion­al um­brel­la body for ser­vice-based busi­ness­es, TTC­SI ex­pressed its com­mit­ment to work­ing with the new ad­min­is­tra­tion to en­hance the com­pet­i­tive­ness, ca­pac­i­ty, and glob­al po­si­tion­ing of Trinidad and To­ba­go’s ser­vices sec­tor. The or­gan­i­sa­tion em­pha­sized the im­por­tance of Gov­ern­ment and Op­po­si­tion col­lab­o­ra­tion in ad­dress­ing na­tion­al chal­lenges and main­tain­ing the se­cu­ri­ty and well-be­ing of cit­i­zens and the busi­ness com­mu­ni­ty.

In a sep­a­rate state­ment al­so is­sued short­ly af­ter the UNC de­clared vic­to­ry and the PNM con­ced­ed de­feat, the En­er­gy Cham­ber of Trinidad and To­ba­go al­so ex­tend­ed con­grat­u­la­tions to the UNC and the in­com­ing Prime Min­is­ter.

“The En­er­gy Cham­ber of Trinidad and To­ba­go ex­tends con­grat­u­la­tions to the Ho­n­ourable Kam­la Per­sad-Bisses­sar, SC and the Unit­ed Na­tion­al Con­gress on their vic­to­ry in the 2025 Trinidad and To­ba­go gen­er­al elec­tion,” the state­ment read. The En­er­gy Cham­ber ex­pressed its in­ten­tion to col­lab­o­rate with the new Gov­ern­ment on be­half of its 400 mem­ber com­pa­nies. It em­pha­sised the goal of de­vel­op­ing a re­silient en­er­gy sec­tor that pro­vides long-term val­ue for the peo­ple of T&T.

Both or­gan­i­sa­tions af­firmed their readi­ness to en­gage with the in­com­ing ad­min­is­tra­tion to sup­port na­tion­al de­vel­op­ment ob­jec­tives in their re­spec­tive sec­tors.
