Progressive Democratic Patriots (PDP) political leader Watson Duke says he will not stop fighting for Tobago as he signalled his party's readiness to battle ahead of the THA elections.

However, in a media release on August 6, Duke said the PDP would only rise if Tobagonians give the signal. Comparing it to a boxing match, Duke, the electoral representative for Roxborough/Argyle, said the champion always enters the ring last.

“This election is not just about the THA. It’s about the soul of Tobago. Make your decision clear. Tobago must win. Ah we haffuh win,” Duke wrote.
