LEADER of the Progressive Empowerment Party (PEP) Phillip Edward Alexander says when he stepped away from active politics in late 2023, he was ready to take his family abroad in search of better opportunities.

However, he reversed his decision in March 2024, spurred by a desire for one final hurrah – to play a role in removing the current government.

"I told my executive that I was going to help Kamla Persad-Bissessar become the next prime minister of Trinidad and Tobago," Alexander said as he addressed a community meeting at his campaign office on Alcazar Street, Port of Spain, on April 19.
