Chief Secretary and Tobago People’s Party (TPP) leader Farley Augustine says he was “surprised” by Watson Duke’s public endorsement of the TPP ahead of the 12 January THA election, but he is welcoming the support.
Augustine responded in a social media report after Duke announced yesterday he and his remaining PDP supporters would rally behind the TPP. The two men have been politically divided since their 2022 fallout, which led to the collapse of the PDP and the formation of the TPP. “Well, I was surprised. And I mean, I appreciate the support and the endorsement,” Augustine said.
He said disagreements in politics do not prevent collaboration once Tobago’s interest is involved. “You know, we are saying Tobago is we, and part of that means from time to time people disagree on some principle matters, but it does not mean when it comes to Tobago we can’t find grounds to agree and work together.”
