The Tobago People’s Party (TPP) concluded its intensive screening process for nominees on November 17, marking a significant step toward the upcoming Tobago House of Assembly (THA) elections. The final day of screenings, held at the Shaw Park Cultural Complex, saw a vibrant display of support for candidates, including Trevor James, who arrived with a motorcade, music trucks, and enthusiastic flag-waving supporters. The screening, led by Chief Secretary Farley Augustine, began on November 13, following the dissolution of the assembly to pave the way for fresh elections scheduled between January 12 and February 12, 2026. Among the nominees vying for seats in key electoral districts such as Scarborough/Mt Grace, Mt St George/Goodwood, and Signal Hill/Patience Hill were Trevor James, Arnel Keron Des Vignes, and Gerad Sebro. James, the Secretary of the Division of Infrastructure, Quarries and Urban Development, expressed confidence in his re-selection, emphasizing his commitment to developing a new sporting ecosystem and advancing the Scarborough Development Plan. Other candidates, including Megan Morrison and Marlon Radgman, highlighted their priorities, ranging from infrastructure improvements to addressing coastal erosion and unemployment. The final list of 15 successful nominees is expected to be announced by the end of the week, setting the stage for a competitive election season.
