The People’s National Movement (PNM) has proposed a new candidate for presiding officer of the Tobago House of Assembly (THA).
The name of the nominee will be revealed at the next meeting of the assembly at 1.30pm on Thursday.
This was the outcome of Monday’s special meeting after the newly-elected assemblymen again failed to elect a presiding officer.
