OPPOSITION LEADER Pennelope Beckles said the focus of the PNM in 2026 is preparation and renewal. She said the party’s objective is to restore public confidence in government and ensure that national resources are managed in the best interest of all citizens.

In her New Year’s Day message, Beckles said the party was strengthening its policy framework, renewing its leadership structures, and preparing to govern responsibly when called upon by the people in the near future.

“In 2025, I was entrusted with the responsibility of serving as leader of the ppposition and elected political leader of the PNM, becoming the first woman to hold that office. These roles carry a solemn duty to advocate for the people of TT and to hold the government to account.”
