00:00The Tobago House of Assembly has a sort of semi-fixed date system

00:05where the Assembly dissolves for itself on its anniversary

00:09and then I think there's about 35 to about 90 days for the actual date.

00:17Most likely it will be like a January 2026.

00:20I don't know, it could even be in December.

00:22But for it to happen before January, it means that as a party, as an Assembly,

00:32we have to go to the House, pass a motion and agree to dissolve the House before the anniversary.

00:38Mr. Augustin told reporters he is confident of the TPP having a second term in office

00:44and expects the next THA election to be eventful.

00:47The TPP previously evolved under a progressive Democratic Patriots PDP ticket.

00:53We are excited about the upcoming season.

00:57We expect it to be pretty eventful, no doubt.

01:03But certainly we are committed to a very clean campaign, progressive agenda as always

01:10and one that engages and excites the people of Tobago.

01:14Certainly you can look forward to that from us.

01:16The PNM-Tobago Council is the only party so far to have screened all 15 candidates for the upcoming THA election.

01:25I know that the PNM, they finished their screening for all 15 candidates.

01:29How soon will the TPP be in the free?

01:33Soonish.

01:35Actually, very soon.

01:37We are pretty advanced with our strategic planning.

01:43And so when we roll, we will be rolling heavier.

01:46Elizabeth Williams, TV6 News.
