PNM 2.0: Penny in Charge

[alfa]

The closing of Petrotrin affected the entire south. Everyone was affected from doubles vendors to banks.

A very bad decision

Yes but they closed in 2018 and still won 2020.
It's something more in the mix now

A fluke win in 2020

No bai. Murder rate was little over 100 ,all roads paved, no increases in fuel, and the introduction of foreign used cars . Country was actually well run by the late great Bas. At 18 18 in 2001 he should have been reinstated

I said 2920 not 2000 lol, think you misread

Lost the 2 Tobago seats to Farley. He's a Rowley loyalist if you didn't know...


Dennis refuses to step down as Tobago Council head

People’s National Movement (PNM) Tobago Council political leader Ancil Dennis says he will not resign, even as other party officials have stepped down following the party’s heavy defeat in Monday’s General Election.

“There will be no resignation from me while I am on the national executive as a deputy political leader,” Dennis told Guardian Media yesterday.

“I am there by virtue of being the elected political leader of the PNM in Tobago, so there will be no such resignation from me.”

He added, “According to the PNM’s constitution, the elected political leader of the PNM in Tobago, because PNM in Tobago has its own internal elections, so that political leader who is elected in that election is also automatically a deputy political leader of the party and not necessarily appointed by the political leader nationally.”

His statement came hours after PNM chairman Stuart Young resigned. In a statement on his decision, Young said he was stepping down to allow the party to reflect and move forward.

Former political leader Dr Keith Rowley also announced his resignation five hours prior to Young, but said he will officially demit office today, after leading the PNM for several years. Rohan Sinanan, another deputy leader under Rowley, also tendered his resgination yesterday.

The PNM lost the Tobago East and Tobago West seats to the Tobago People’s Party (TPP) on Monday. United National Congress leader Kamla Persad-Bissessar led her party to a 26-13 win over the PNM.

Political analysts say the public turned away from the PNM because of several issues, including recent salary hikes for senior government officials and a feeling that the party was out of touch with the people.

Despite the growing calls for change within the party, however, Dennis said he is staying and plans to focus on rebuilding the PNM’s base in Tobago and helping the national executive recover from the loss.

Dennis said the PNM in Tobago still has work to do and he intends to lead that effort.

Young not entitled to Prime Minister's pension

https://newsday.co.tt/2025/04/29/young-not-entitled-to-prime-ministers-pension/

The rules for payment of a pension to former prime ministers are laid out in the Prime Minister's Pension Act.

Section 3(1) of the Act states, "Every person who having been appointed Prime Minister on or after the 31st day of August, 1962, ceases at any time after such appointment to be Prime Minister shall be paid a pension under this Act with effect from the date on which he ceases to be Prime Minister and subject to subsection (2) the pension shall continue to be paid during the lifetime of that person."

Section 3 (2) added, "The Prime Minister’s pension shall, if the person to whom it is payable becomes a legislator or is again appointed Prime Minister, cease to be payable during the period in respect of which that person is a legislator or holds the office of Prime Minister, as the case may be, but where the rate of the Prime Minister’s pension exceeds the rate of salary as a legislator, nothing in this subsection shall prevent the payment of the Prime Minister’s pension to the extent of such excess."

Young was sworn in as prime minister on March 17, one day after Dr Keith Rowley resigned from this post.

On April 28, Young was re-elected as Port of Spain North/St Ann's West MP.

This means he will sit in the House of Representatives again as a legislator but not as prime minister since the PNM lost the election.

Let Penny do her thing.


I had chead on who to be PNM leader, and it was penny right after Manning demise back in 2010

But again, tuners dissed it.


I even bumped the chead on Tuesday, and the mods took it down.

Mods just like PNM still getting it wrong

[hover11]

Penny stood by and watched PNM oppress the citizens for ten years, watched Rowley scold us and watched imbert laughed at us. This is just a case of the best out of the worst as I said before she is a good MP but that's about it

[goalpost]

PNM and by large, Trinidad believe a leader has to be aggressive, brash and unforgiving. This is not true. They allowed Rowley too long to get on like a wajang and have his MPs subservient. Let's see that stop plz.

While Penny isn't aggressive, my dealings with her is that she thinks, she's fair and hopefully she allows her MPs room to do their thing.

[zoom rader]

Jah bless penny, she will pull back the disgruntled PNM base.

The biggest disappointment was all these pollsters and political scientists. They just did not want to admit the truth. They did all this for money.

“I think what is critical at this time is to be a lot more caring. A lot of issues that I have found in the public domain is people feeling that the party has not been sufficiently caring—that the party is not knowledgeable about the issues…”

It's not now the people feel like this, why didn't you speak out in the last ten years when Rowley Buff the citizens and when imbert laughed at us. Where were you, oh you were right there , silent as per usual. The enabler is worse than the abuser. Listen she is a good MP I not disputing that but PNM makes a really good opposition let them relax there for a bit

SECRETARY of Finance, Trade and the Economy Petal-Ann Roberts claims the Farley Augustine-led administration has inherited the highest liability in the history of the Tobago House of Assembly (THA) – approximately $1 billion.

She said to date, the administration has not been able to settle all of its debts and it was hoping for a meeting with the incoming Minister of Finance next week to air concerns and perhaps devise a strategy to resolve the situation.

Opposition leader is one thing, what about political leader?

I doubt anybody will challenge Penny for PL of the pnm when the time comes. Camille has no choice but to boil down.
