PM meets with Tobago leaders

The Prime Minister met for several hours on Tuesday with Tobago MPs Shamfa Cudjoe and Ayanna Webster-Roy, PNM Tobago Council leader Tracy Davidson-Celestine and THA Chief Secretary Ancil Dennis.

The meeting was held at the Prime Minister’s official residence in Blenheim.

A post on Dr Rowley’s Facebook page said discussions focused on “matters relating to the operations of the Government in Tobago.”

It gave no further details.

The four Tobago leaders were also tight-lipped about the meeting.

But there is speculation the talks may have centred on the upcoming THA elections, constitutionally due in 2021.

The PNM, which controls ten of the 12 electoral districts in the assembly, is yet to open nominations.

The Progressive Democratic Patriots and the Unity of the People, led by Nickocy Phillips, have already opened nominations for prospective candidates.

Rowley is expected to return to Trinidad on Wednesday.
