The THA and the PNM
Friday 22 January 2021
THE EDITOR: The PNM is the only party that has been consistent and loyal to Tobagonians, having contested every THA election from the Assembly s inception in 1980, to the present day.
The records show that the very first THA elections in 1980 were won by the Democratic Action Committee (DAC) led by ANR Robinson, which took eight seats while the PNM took four. The Fargo House Movement (FHM) led by Dr Winston Murray failed to win a seat.
Since then, 11 political parties have opposed the PNM in THA elections. They are/have been: the DAC, the National Joint Action Committee (NJAC), the National Alliance for Reconstruction (NAR), the United National National Congress (UNC), the People’s Empowerment Party (PEP), Tobago Organisation of the People (TOP), The Platform of Truth (TPT), The Movement for Transformation (TMF), the FHM, Tobago Forwards (TF) and the Progressive Democratic Patriots (PDP).
