INNOVATIVE Democratic Alliance (IDA) candidate for Belle Garden/Glamorgan Tevin Duke has been removed and will be replaced. This was confirmed by the IDA and follows Duke appearing in court charged with breaching a protection order for the third time one day after he was announced as a candidate.
The IDA in a statement yesterday reported the party was currently finalising the vetting of two potential replacement candidates for the district in the upcoming Tobago House of Assembly (THA) election.
“The chosen candidate will be announced shortly to ensure the people of Belle Garden/Glamorgan have the opportunity for having strong representation heading into the January 12 THA election. While this incident is regrettable, the IDA remains focused and steady. Leadership is tested in difficult moments, and our response reflects a disciplined, principled, and people-first organisation,” the party said.
