With Tobago heading to the polls on Monday, attention is on how political parties are concentrating resources and rhetoric on a handful of marginal electoral districts that could ultimately decide control of the Tobago House of Assembly (THA).
While the Tobago People’s Party (TPP) enters the race as the governing force, the People’s National Movement (PNM) is aiming for a political revival. The contests in Buccoo/Mt Pleasant, Darrel Spring/Whim, Signal Hill/Patience Hill, and Plymouth/Black Rock underscore just how competitive and unpredictable this election could be.
Political scientist Dr Maukesh Basdeo cautioned that this poll cannot be seen as a continuation of 2021.
