The 2026 Tobago House of Assembly elections have seen Farley Augustine and his Tobago People’s Party (TPP) secure a decisive win, sweeping all 15 electoral districts. This victory, one of the most commanding in Tobago’s political history, underscores public confidence in Augustine’s leadership and the direction of his administration. The joy of supporters was visible island-wide as they celebrated what they believe to be a mandate for continued development, stronger governance, and greater autonomy. Augustine expressed his gratitude for the overwhelming show of trust and pledged to focus on economic growth, youth development, infrastructure improvement, and strengthening Tobago’s voice at the national level. The results highlight a shift in Tobago’s political landscape, with voters moving away from traditional party loyalties in favour of leadership they believe delivers tangible results. With complete control over the Tobago House of Assembly, the TPP now faces heightened expectations to deliver on their campaign promises.
