Farley Chavez Augustine remains the Chief Secretary of the Tobago House of Assembly following the January 15 inauguration ceremony. The office of the Minority Leader for Tobago will remain vacant.

The swearing in of the 15 members of the THA as well as three councillors took place at the 13th Inaugural Ceremony of the THA, days after the January 12 election which saw the Tobago People’s Party sweep all 15 seats. This is only the second time in the island’s history that one party won all the seats, but the first where 15 seats were won.

Dr Faith Brebnor remains as the Deputy Chief Secretary, with Niall George selected as presiding officer, Niketa George as deputy presiding officer. Councillors Petal-Ann Roberts, Ackel Franklyn and Adanna Joseph-Wallace were also sworn in.
