Tobagonians go to the polls tomorrow, Monday 6 December 2021, in what is expected to be a hotly contested election for control of the Tobago House of Assembly (THA).
Polls are expected to open at 6 am and close at 6 am.
Fifteen seats are up for grabs in an election that is intended to break a deadlock which existed in the Assembly after the THA elections in January 2021, when the Assembly comprised only 12 seats. The January election had resulted in an even split down the middle—six seats to the People’s National Movement (PNM), and six seats to the Progressive Democratic Patriots (PDP).
The Tobago Council of the PNM is led by political leader Tracy Davidson-Celestine, who will be contesting the Signal Hill/Patience Hill seat.
The PDP is led by political leader Watson Duke, who will be contesting the Roxborough/Argyle seat.
The following is the voting schedule for the respective candidates of the contesting political parties…
