THE Tobago People’s Party (TPP) secured a major victory, winning the two Tobago seats in the April 28 general election.
In so doing, the party’s candidates Joel Sampson (Tobago West) and David Thomas (Tobago East) unseated the People’s National Movement’s (PNM) Shamfa Cudjoe-Lewis and Ayanna Webster-Roy, who had served two consecutive five-year terms as MPs and were seeking a third.
News of the victory triggered a Carnival-like atmosphere along Calypso Rose Boulevard in Scarborough as hundreds of jubilant supporters, mostly young people, converged in the capital city dancing, singing and waving the party’s banners.
