PDP chairman: No more statements on resignations

As resignations within the Progressive Democratic Patriots (PDP) executive continue, chairman of the party Dr Sean Nedd says any further resignations will remain an internal matter for the party.

Nedd spoke with Newsday on Thursday after numerous calls for him to confirm the resignations and the current structure of the executive.

He said: “At this stage, I am not making any further statements on it. Right now, any further discussion on resignation is going to be an internal party matter. We are consolidating all the positions right now.”

Newsday understands that the party has received resignations from its deputy chairman Andre Cowan and general secretary Ann Natasha Second as well as elections officer Otis Noel.

This comes on the heels of a mass resignation of 13 elected members of the Tobago House of Assembly.
