The Trinbago Unified Calypsonians’ Organisation (TUCO) has moved swiftly to dismiss a tabulator from its Road March 2025 competition after comments they made on social media suggested a frontrunner in the race for the coveted title.

In a statement issued by TUCO, the organisation said the Road March title is determined strictly by statistics – the number of times a song is played when bands cross official judging points. TUCO clarified that the tabulator’s personal opinion held no weight in the final decision, as the official results were yet to be fully compiled.

“TUCO has since relieved the tabulator in question of her official duties…The opinion expressed by that particular tabulator is irrelevant to the results of the competition which are yet to be tabulated, ” the statement, e-mailed at 2.18 am on March 5, said.
