MP Manning Faces Party Backlash | Trinidad and Tobago News

MP Brian Manning is facing a major party reckoning after publicly airing grievances that leadership says are damaging and inaccurate. The ruling party’s top brass — including chairman, deputy leaders, and the women’s league — have united in condemning his actions, warning he’s on a “dangerous path” that threatens party unity. The fallout began in June over San Fernando East, where Manning relayed constituent complaints against the constituency chair, sparking an inquiry. But Manning’s public criticism of the process has escalated tensions, prompting leadership to call for restraint and adherence to internal procedures. Though the constituency executive has resigned, Manning refuses to step down, vowing to serve until 2030 and questioning the fairness of the process. Party leaders stress that elected officials must uphold discipline, and while they can’t force him out, they’re prepared to investigate and enforce party rules — with complaints already pouring in.
