Following the People’s National Movement’s (PNM) defeat in Monday’s Tobago House of Assembly (THA) elections, Opposition Leader Pennelope Beckles has congratulated Tobago People’s Party (TPP) leader Farley Augustine on his victory, as have Prime Minister Kamla Persad-Bissessar and Patriotic Front (PF) leader Mickela Panday.
Statements from all three leaders also reflected their respective parties’ views on the election outcome.
The TPP, led by Augustine, captured all 15 THA seats in what has been described as a “blue wash” of Tobago — blue being the party’s signature colour.
