The Innovative Democratic Alliance (IDA) has announced its intention to compete in all 15 electoral districts during the upcoming Tobago House of Assembly (THA) election. Dr. Denise Tsoiafatt Angus, the IDA’s political leader, revealed that the party’s candidates will be unveiled by the end of November. This announcement follows the Tobago People’s Party (TPP) completing its candidate screening process, with its nominees expected to be disclosed shortly. Meanwhile, the People’s National Movement (PNM) has been introducing its candidates through its Community Conversations series, which concludes on November 25. The IDA expressed enthusiasm about its diverse and community-driven candidate selection process, emphasizing its commitment to grassroots democracy and inclusive leadership. The party highlighted that candidates are recommended by local communities rather than chosen by party executives, ensuring they genuinely represent the people’s interests. Additionally, the IDA has been enhancing its members’ leadership skills through workshops like ‘Reset to Rise: Unleash the Leader,’ aimed at fostering a new generation of competent and visionary leaders. Other parties, including the Tobago Liberation Movement and Unity of the People, have also signaled their participation in the THA election, while the Progressive Democratic Patriots’ stance remains uncertain.
