Af­ter shock­ing the To­ba­go elec­torate with his sur­prise se­lec­tion as the To­ba­go Peo­ple’s Par­ty’s (TPP) can­di­date for Buc­coo/Mt Pleas­ant, Keigon De­noon says his de­ci­sion to part ways with the Peo­ple’s Na­tion­al Move­ment (PNM) stemmed from the calls of young peo­ple in his com­mu­ni­ty urg­ing him to chart a new path.

Mo­ments af­ter PNM To­ba­go leader An­cil Den­nis con­firmed De­noon’s res­ig­na­tion as chair­man of the To­ba­go West con­stituen­cy, he was seen em­brac­ing TPP sup­port­ers and par­ty leader Far­ley Au­gus­tine at a ral­ly in Scar­bor­ough on Mon­day night, where he was of­fi­cial­ly un­veiled as the TPP’s fi­nal can­di­date ahead of the Jan­u­ary 12 elec­tion.
