Hazel Manning Steps Into San Fernando East | Trinidad and Tobago News

Hazel Manning, widow of late PM Patrick Manning, is poised to take the helm of San Fernando East—a move political analyst Dr. Shane Mohammed calls a strategic masterstroke, leveraging her proven stability and quiet authority. He argues the PNM’s internal chaos since the last election, fueled by power struggles and sidelining seasoned members, has created a vacuum perfect for her entry. With San Fernando East holding deep historical significance for the party, Manning’s return could restore order amid current turmoil. Meanwhile, Deputy Mayor Patricia Alexis’ perceived missteps may have further destabilized the constituency, risking local governance. Analysts debate whether this is about legacy or leadership renewal, while critics note the national executive’s failure to act earlier has damaged the party’s image.
