PNM candidate and former MP for Tunapuna Esmond Forde sought to set himself apart from his UNC rival Roger Alexander by saying it was he who was the local candidate in the April 28 general election. Forde said he went to school in Tunapuna and lived in the constituency.

Forde spoke to reporters at Upper El Dorado Community Centre after filing his nomination form with the Election and Boundaries Commission (EBC) returning officer on April 4.
