A SMALL motorcade, music trucks, flag-waving supporters and a Dame Lorraine heralded Trevor James’ arrival for the final day of the Tobago People’s Party’s (TPP’s) screening exercise at the Shaw Park Cultural Complex, Tobago, on November 17.

The party’s screening of nominees began on November 13, a day after Chief Secretary Farley Augustine dissolved the assembly, paving the way for fresh THA elections. The elections must be held between January 12 and February 12.

On November 17, the screening committee, headed by Augustine, interviewed its last batch of nominees for the electoral districts of Scarborough/Mt Grace, Mt St George/Goodwood and Signal Hill/Patience Hill. The nominees were accompanied by their supporters, some more than others.
