While her name is being put forward as a possible candidate, newly appointed People’s National Movement (PNM) Tobago Council leader Shamfa Cudjoe-Lewis says she has no interest in a senatorial position at this time.
Her comment comes as she and the PNM deputy leader are being seen as a possible replacement for embattled Senator Janelle John-Bates, who has offered her resignation to Opposition Leader Pennelope Beckles in the wake of the Public Administration and Appropriations Committee (PAAC) fiasco.
Contacted yesterday, Cudjoe-Lewis said, “I want to make it pellucidly clear that I have absolutely no interest whatsoever in serving as a senator at this time. My focus is wholly and solely on my new role as political leader of the People’s National Movement Tobago Council, where I now dedicate my time and effort to working in the trenches with my people across Tobago, rebuilding our party, strengthening our movement, and being a voice for the voiceless and a force for good.
