The Tobago People’s Party (TPP) has entered the second day of its rigorous screening process for candidates vying for seats in the upcoming Tobago House of Assembly (THA) elections. The event, held at the Shaw Park Cultural Complex on November 16, saw nominees accompanied by enthusiastic supporters as they presented their cases to the party’s screening committee. Led by TPP political leader Farley Augustine, the committee has been meticulously evaluating candidates since November 13, focusing on three of the 15 electoral districts. Among the districts under scrutiny were Buccoo/Mt Pleasant, Plymouth/Black Rock, and Bethel/New Grange. Notably, incumbent Terance Baynes, Assistant Secretary of the Division of Infrastructure, Quarries and Urban Development, was among the two candidates screened for the Bethel/New Grange district. The remaining eight candidates for this seat, including Tynielle Jack and Cloyd Williams, faced the committee on November 16. Earlier in the day, nominees for the Mason Hall/Moriah seat, including incumbent Ian Pollard and first-time contender Allan Stewart, underwent the screening process. Stewart, accompanied by his family, expressed confidence in his performance, emphasizing the importance of youth representation. Retired police officer Bevon Dennis highlighted his focus on safety, security, and employment opportunities for young men. Pollard, seeking re-election, defended his track record, attributing challenges to financial constraints and political opposition. The TPP’s screening process underscores the party’s commitment to selecting capable candidates for the THA elections, with a focus on community development and effective representation.
