The Tobago People’s Party (TPP) has officially sounded the election bell for January 12th, declaring their readiness to secure a fresh mandate and "crush" the opposition at the polls.

At a high-energy meeting in Scarborough/Mount Grace, the Area Representative and Secretary of Infrastructure delivered a fiery defense of the administration's four-year record. He pushed back strongly against criticisms regarding the island's road conditions, accusing the Central Government of "weaponizing" state agencies against the THA.

"Today, WASA is the major culprit for all the holes that you see," he stated, alleging that funding previously allocated for road repairs was stripped away by Port of Spain.

🚧 key Infrastructure Promises: Moving beyond "small things" like potholes, the TPP outlined a vision for "true development" with major capital projects planned for the next term:

Scarborough Redevelopment: A letter of award is imminent for this transformative urban project.

Sangster’s Hill Overpass: A new road network designed to alleviate traffic congestion in the capital.

Goldsborough Motor Vehicle Authority: A centralized facility to finally allow Class 5 and 7 drivers to get licensed in Tobago, ending the need to travel to Trinidad.

One-Stop Approval Agency: Merging Town & Country, WASA, and Fire Service approvals into a single unit to slash construction wait times.

"Tobago is We" The core message of the night was self-reliance. The TPP leadership argued that Tobago cannot rely on Trinidad-based parties for its salvation. "We have to build this island ourselves," the Secretary declared. "Nobody ain't coming to fix nothing for you!"

Predicting a clean sweep of all districtsβ€”from Roxborough to Lambeauβ€”the TPP urged the diaspora and locals alike to vote for autonomy and continued growth.

The Political Leader of the PNM Tobago Council, Ancil K. Dennis, has just placed the electorate on high alert. Standing before a capacity crowd at the Magdalena Grand Ballroom, Dennis announced that the party’s comprehensive manifesto will be released to the public in exactly 8 days.

Riding the wave of momentum from the "Red Revival" launch, Dennis declared that the blueprint for the party's visionβ€”including the detailed mechanics of the "Tobago First" policy, the 7,000-job creation plan, and the infrastructure overhaulβ€”is ready for scrutiny.

The upcoming document is being framed not just as a list of promises, but as a "contract with the people" to reverse what the party describes as years of stagnation under the current administration. With the election date of January 12th rapidly approaching, the release of the manifesto next week is expected to be the next major pivot point in the campaign, offering voters the specifics they have been waiting for.

In a powerful and emotionally charged moment just unfolding at the Magdalena Grand Ballroom, Minority Leader and Area Representative for Darryl Spring/Whim, Kelvon Morris, was ushered to the stage by a roaring welcome from the PNM faithful.

The energy in the room quickly shifted from raucous political celebration to a solemn moment of worship. Before delivering his address, Morris led the packed ballroom in a moving rendition of "Come Jesus Come," turning the political rally into a sanctuary of praise.

This deliberate pause for worship is being viewed by many as a direct and symbolic clapback to recent controversial comments by the Tobago People's Party (TPP) administration, which had labeled PNM supporters as "children of the devil." By centering his entrance on faith and worship, Morris appears to be visually and spiritually rejecting that label, grounding the "Red Revival" launch in a message of divine guidance rather than political mudslinging.

The Minority Leader is now set to speak, with the crowd energized and the atmosphere heavy with anticipation.

Tobago People's Party Political Meeting - Bethesda / Les Coteaux

13/12/2025

The atmosphere inside the Magdalena Grand Ballroom is currently electric as the People’s National Movement (PNM) Tobago Council officially kicks off its 2025 election machinery with the highly anticipated "Red Revival" Campaign Launch and Presentation of Candidates.

A sea of red has taken over the venue this evening, with supporters waving flags and blowing horns, signaling the party's readiness for the January 12th polls. The event, which began at 5:00 PM, is moving into high gear as the party presents its full slate of 15 candidatesβ€”the "soldiers" tasked with securing victory across Tobago's electoral districts.

The mood is high-energy, fueled by powerful performances from a star-studded lineup including Sharon Phillips, Sean Daniel, Jaron Nurse, Marc Isaacs, and Tricia Sobers, who are keeping the crowd on their feet between segments.

Political Leader of the Tobago Council, Ancil K. Dennis, alongside Political Leader Hon. Penelope Beckles, are set to rally the base with the party's manifesto and vision to "Put Tobago First Again." As the night unfolds, the focus remains firmly on the 15 men and women taking the stage, marking the official start of what promises to be an intense sprint to election day.
