PORT OF SPAIN, Trinidad - After a bruising campaign conducted under a canopy of allegations, counter-allegations and legal threats, Tobagonians go to the polls this morning to elect the leaders of the Tobago House of Assembly for the next term.
As brutal as this THA election campaign has been, the unfortunate reality is that it has been consistent in tone with other electoral campaigns in Trinidad and Tobago. Much has been said and done that would have caused hurt and regret.
Today, however, Tobagonians must put the campaign aside and get down to the serious business of exercising their democratic right to put their X against the name of the candidate they believe will best represent their interest in the THA.
