Fifty-five individuals have put forward themselves to be considered as candidates under the Tobago People’s Party (TPP) banner in the next Tobago House of Assembly (THA) elections.

TPP political leader Farley Augustine made the announcement as he responded to questions from the media on October 21 at Shaw Park.

Augustine said the nomination process is now closed and a committee is currently doing its due diligence to ensure that those who have been nominated are members of the party and that they meet the basic criteria.
