Tobago is gearing up for another critical Tobago House of Assembly (THA) election, with residents recognizing its unprecedented importance. The result will significantly influence the island’s future, impacting development, job creation, autonomy, and relations with the central government. The THA holds significant control over key areas such as infrastructure, tourism, education, culture, and small business support. The upcoming election will determine whether Tobago’s development is well-planned and inclusive or reactive and uneven. The island’s economy, heavily reliant on tourism and public sector spending, will be shaped by the THA administration’s approach to diversification. This election will also send a clear message to Port of Spain, with a strong mandate enhancing Tobago’s leverage in budget, project, and policy negotiations. As trust in political leadership has been tested in recent years, this election offers an opportunity for Tobagonians to demand change or reward competence. Above all, this THA election is a defining moment, potentially setting Tobago on a path towards progress or stagnation.
