PNM political leader Dr Keith Rowley delivered his final speech as a politician in Tobago on April 19, telling supporters to reject the Tobago People’s Party’s (TPP) two candidates in the April 28 general election.

He believes the party’s candidates, David Thomas and Joel Sampson, are hoping to win the two Tobago seats so that they can join with the UNC to form the government to get internal self-government for the island.

Addressing a political meeting at the Goodwood Secondary School, Rowley said, “You are talking about two seats in a Parliament, where those two seats could decide who runs the country and you are going to let a man (TPP leader Farley Augustine) who cannot be trusted be in control of those two seats. I have nothing more to say to you in Tobago. This is the last speech I am making in Tobago as a politician.”
