Tobago Election: More Than a Local Vote

The upcoming Tobago House of Assembly (THA) election holds significant implications beyond a routine local vote. It will decide Tobago’s local leadership and set the island’s development priorities. The THA manages key areas such as infrastructure, community services, economic planning, and cultural programmes, and winning control of the THA gives a party or coalition the authority to shape these issues for the future. The election also influences Tobago’s relationship with the national government in Trinidad and Tobago. It is a platform for citizens to voice their priorities and hold leaders accountable. The THA election, while technically a regional vote, has broader implications on national political dynamics. It is also about the voice and agency of Tobagonians, allowing them to shape who represents them and how their needs are advanced.
