Deputy Political Leader of the Progressive Democratic Patriots (PDP), Dr. Faith B Yisrael, believes the additional three seats in Tobago may swing the votes in the favour of the People’s National Movement (PNM).
Dr. Yisrael believes the Elections and Boundaries Commission should have divided Tobago into 15 new seats, which would give Tobagonians the assurance that the EBC acted fairly in dividing the island.
Regardless of the decision, the PDP remains fearless as the party prepares for the upcoming election.
The Draft Report of the Elections and Boundaries Commission, Local Government and THA, Order 2021 was passed in the Lower House on Wednesday. This gives way for new elections to be held in Tobago.
