PEP to disband as Phillip joins UNC

In the wake of the April 28 General Election, the future of 14 unsuccessful political parties remains uncertain.
In the case of the Progressive Empowerment Party (PEP), political leader Phillip Edward Alexander said the party will soon be disbanded as he plans to formally join the United National Congress (UNC).
Alexander said the decision was made after consultation with, and the full support of, the PEP executive.
“We were formed to bring certain anti-establishment policies to the front that have now become foundation policies of the United National Congress and the coalition so us wearing two different shoes, for want of a better analogy, makes no sense any more,” he said.
While he claimed no promises have been made to him, Alexander expressed hope that he might one day be in a position to help address the country’s water issues.
“Honestly, I have fought for water for so long and I know that our water policies solve flooding and water... That there could be no more drought in the country. I would have loved, maybe at some point, I might get a chance to try that. I would have loved to be the person that solves the water problems in Trinidad.”
He said he anticipates roles for members of the PEP within the UNC.
Alexander also emphasised that although he supports Prime Minister Kamla Persad-Bissessar, he remains committed to holding her accountable if things go awry.
“I think she knows that inside my chest beats a heart that cannot be a party to foolishness so that I know how important this coalition is to her. I know how important fixing this country is to her.
“I am dedicated to that. So, barring something going mad, like the PNM that went mad—which I don’t see coming—I’ll always be Phillip Edward Alexander.”
Patriotic Front (PF) political leader Mickela Panday celebrated her party’s ability to field 37 candidates in its first general election, despite allegedly facing intimidation and last-minute withdrawals.
She confirmed the PF’s commitment to remaining active in national politics, strengthening its internal structure and engaging young people in leadership roles.
Panday called on the new Government to prioritise campaign finance reform, job creation, and transparency, warning against the return to political patronage.
“We are hoping that the new Government will appoint people also based on meritocracy and not with the political patronage and cronyism that we’ve seen.” she said.
“We also know that millions and millions and millions, surely hundreds of millions of dollars, were spent during an election which could have been spent otherwise by both of the parties, and we would hope that there will not become a payback session to happen for the monies that were given, because of course there was no transparency in that at all.”
Panday also urged swift action on promises made during the campaign.
“People are suffering, people can’t eat, feed their families, there’s no jobs. We’re hoping that jobs will be created, and a lot of promises were made. What I would like to see is, not like we’d seen with the last government, you keep blaming the government before,” she said.
She added that while the Patriotic Front remains a young movement, it is committed to growing beyond her brand and introducing the public to a wider team. Panday also noted that while they did not win any seats in the Parliament, they will hold the government accountable like any responsible opposition.
“I would definitely hope that we would not hear the amount of allegations of corruption that came up the last time, and I think people learn from their mistakes. It’ll be the second time around, and I truly wish them well, because for them to fail would mean that the people of Trinidad and Tobago will be hurt.”
National Transformation Alliance (NTA) leader Gary Griffith said he intends to consult with the party’s executive before making any public announcement about the party’s future.
Watson Duke said he will address the future of the Progressive Democratic Patriots (PDP) next week.

I believe Gary and Mickela knew this also but was hoping to split votes enough and win either St Joseph (NTA) or Couva North (PF) to be "kingmaker" if there is a tie. This will then force Kamla in some sort of accommodation to form a government.
Whatever Phillip motives were, his gamble last year to endorse and support the UNC has paid off. He probably realized that the best way to become powerful is to join either one of the two established political parties (in this case, the UNC) and work his way up.
I don't see him challenging Kamla in any major way because where he is right now is the best position politically he has ever been so far.
