PNM members tell Rowley, Stuart: Pack your bags and go!
Party to choose Opposition Leader today

The People’s National Movement (PNM) will choose a new Opposition Leader today.Unlike what took place in January, its political leader will not have the final say on who will lead the party going forward.
Instead, the General Council— made up of well over 100 members —will have a one-man-one-vote process to decide on the Opposition Leader.However, some members of PNM’s General Council believe before an Opposition Leader is chosen, Dr Keith Rowley must go as political leader.Speaking to Guardian Media via telephone, former government minister Jennifer Baptiste-Primus said, “There is a General Council meeting tomorrow (today) and therefore the General Council would take the necessary decisions, not no political leader, especially the current political leader. He needs to resign and go. He has to resign and go and play golf, spend time with his family as he said and allow the general council, allow the party to engage in a discussion, in a discourse to determine who will be our Opposition Leader in Parliament. That is the first thing.”

But when asked how he feels about the backlash and calls for his resignation, an unfazed Rowley said, “It comes with the territory.”With Rowley out and Stuart Young’s chances looking grim based on feedback from some PNM stalwarts, it’s down to the Members of Parliament-elect.Meanwhile, the PNM’s former vice chairman, Robert Le Hunte, called for both Young and Rowley to go.“Let the party breathe, Rowley and Stuart. Pack your bags and go!” Le Hunte said yesterday.

Lee Sing, who has been a member of the PNM since the age of 14, said what played out on Monday was identical to the 2010 general election, where the PNM was beaten by the People’s Partnership.He called for good sense to prevail in selecting the Opposition Leader.“On the evidence, that person cannot and must not be Stuart Young.”He also hoped the membership could tell Rowley that he had brought enough darkness to their lives and chase him out. “I think the PNM is going to run Dr Rowley out of Balisier House, whether we want to accept it or not.”

..............Rowley and Stuart. Pack your bags and go!”

The notion that Young does not embody a new direction but is merely Dr Rowley 2.0, left voters doubtful about the PNM’s ability to bring about meaningful change in the next five years.
In this context, the appeal to the public for the PNM to be given a chance for a new beginning was ineffective, particularly considering that in their ten-year rule, they had the opportunity to enact the very changes they were now proposing to implement. 
Going forward, the party must, therefore, face up to the reality that the public rejected it as a suitable unit to govern the country, amid continuing economic, social and cultural difficulties.


Couldn't happen to a better twosome of arseholes like Rowley and La Beharry Young.

I am assuming there was an election and a change of party in power.... I know nothing about T&T politics, so who is its PM now?

An election was held, and the ruling party got a two-to-one advantage in seats. A proper cutarse.

PM is Kamla Persad-Bissessar.

La Beharry Young resigns as PNM chairman

Hours after PNM political leader Dr Keith Rowley resigned, chairman of the party, Stuart Young also tendered his resignation.
In a Facebook post, he said, “After reflection yesterday, I have today, tendered my resignation as Chairman of the People’s National Movement, effective immediately.”
It comes two days after Young and the PNM sank to a major defeat in the 2025 General Elections. The UNC won 26 seats, the PNM won 13 and the TPP took the two Tobago seats.

He added, “I thank my party’s membership for the opportunity to have served as Chairman from December 2022 to date. I give my commitment to continue to advocate our cause and hold the opposition to account on behalf of my constituents, my party and the citizens in the parliament as we move forward.”

This afternoon, the PNM General Council will meet to decide who will be the party’s Opposition Leader in parliament. Both resignations are also expected to come up for discussion.

......The crime problem was there at the start of Rowley’s term. In 2015, amidst the swearing-in of his administration,“guns blazed, bodies fell, and blood flowed in Icacos, San Fernando, Chaguanas, Laventille, Arima and Tobago. Thirty people killed in 21 days!” A prologue to the coming carnage of over 5,000 people murdered in ten years in this country of 1.3 million people, the sixth-highest crime rate in the world, higher than New York City with eight million people.

That’s the legacy of Keith Rowley, the great abdicator who blamed everyone: home, family, school, community, police, even God, as though he had no responsibility in this matter.

Where are the Trini PNM supporters?
Oh, they are doing the same thing to Rowley/Young that they did to Manning

The fact that an elderly woman royally kicked all of your asses still astounds me.

You can come out from under ya rocks now.

The two fcking idiots paid Madero over 200 million US dollars on options for dragon gas that will never happen...evil
Rowley and Lal Beharry Young should be tried for treason and then be hanged.

Rowley bought two million dollar homes in Tobago recently.

PNM is treating him just as they did Manning...get out, loser.
Now they get their revenge; for 10 years he berated them; they had no opinion.
He was the dictator....evil

Now Rowley leaves with million dollar pension plus benefits
The citizens were told to hold their belts on $3500.00 per month.

I still cannot get over how an old lady can give these arrogant bastards such an arse kicking.

I thought PNM would lose but not by 26 to 13.They really did throw TT dollars around,they left TT in a bad way.I am hoping now that the 2 women KPB and Penelope Beckles get together rather than snarl at each other,Good Luck to them.

With T&T's financial position, KPB will have difficulty.
Her winning team doesnt have the astute financial acumen needed to transform T&T with under 6 billion US in the HSF
But she is allowed ten unelected senators for positions; I hope she picks the financial wizards T&T has.
Oil and gas is the main economy; Pt. Liasa is running at 40% capacity, and plants are being mothballed.
No discoveries over the last 10 years, plus what was discovered never moved to production.
Such is expected in the next 5 years.
The foreign money is slowly drying up; T&T imports one billion just in food per year.
Rowley and Imbert just kept borrowing and depleting the HSF from 12.5 billion to under 6 billion.
If T&T pays off its foreign debt, it will have no money left, and citizens will starve.

I wouldn't want to be in such a position....sigh
