PNM Leadership Under Fire in San Fernando | Trinidad and Tobago News

Dr. Shane Mohammed warns that the PNM’s messy handling of a leadership dispute in San Fernando East—centered on MP Brian Manning and former chair Patricia Alexis—could cost the party its grip on the city corporation. With the seat count tied at five each, any internal fracture risks electoral disaster. Manning, who received damning findings from two appointed investigative teams but rejected them, now faces calls for discipline. Mohammed argues the blame shouldn’t fall solely on Manning, questioning why central leadership remains silent and unaccountable. He stresses that San Fernando East, historically a PNM stronghold, must not be allowed to fracture further—and challenges the notion that Manning’s popularity alone shields him, citing past examples of less popular MPs holding their ground. The stakes? A potential loss of key local power if the leadership doesn’t act decisively. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
