00:00So there's an internal election coming, right?
00:03At that point in time, there'll be an opportunity to transition to a new executive,
00:10which will include, which will also include a political leader.
00:15So I've never said I will resign, and I have no intention to resign or anything like that.
00:21Mr. Dennis's position marks a clarification of comments he made in the aftermath of the Tobago PNM's 50-0 defeat in the January 12th THA election,
00:33remarks which some interpreted as signaling his departure from frontline politics.
00:40I intend to support a transition to new leadership within the Tobago Council of the People's National Movement.
00:47I will be 29 on Wednesday, and I will be calling it a day or perhaps a week in politics.
01:01Mr. Dennis now insists those comments were not an indication of resignation,
01:06stressing instead that leadership change will come through the party's internal democratic process.
01:13The party is going to have an internal election soon, within a couple of months,
01:18and a new executive, including a new political leader, of course, will be elected by the membership of the party.
01:26Meanwhile, chairman of the PNM Tobago Council, Larry Paul, has confirmed the resignation of election officer Clit Wilson.
01:35TV6 News understands the resignation was read at a recent meeting of the executive council.
01:41Yes, we received a letter indicating that a new is going from the executive.
01:50But, you know, as I said, right now we are in transition mode because we are not preparing for entire elections.
01:57So in a few weeks, all cease to become vacant and open for new nominations.
02:03When contacted, Mr. Wilson confirmed his resignation, not only from the PNM Tobago Council, but also from the party itself, citing personal reasons.
02:13He added that the people of Tobago have spoken when asked about the party's decisive loss at the polls.

02:23I want to know, to ask you bit if you need to know this.
02:40I'm going to open for content.
02:41I will give you some more ideas.
02:43I'm going to have a memory of the party's kindness.
