Tunapuna constituents said high crime and a desire for change in representation led to former MP Esmond Forde’s election defeat.
Forde had served as MP for ten years and before that he had been councillor for Auzonville-Tunapuna for five years. He also served as Vice Chairman of the Tunapuna/Piarco Regional Corporation for two years.
Forde, known as an affable, down-to-earth politician, earned 6,943 votes, well behind the UNC’s Roger Alexander who amassed 8,466 votes.
