PNM Walks Out Over Committee Rules | Trinidad and Tobago News

Tensions exploded at the Siparia Borough Corporation as the People’s National Movement walked out over a bitter dispute on how to appoint new committee chairmen. With a newfound majority, the PNM clashed with the mayor over whether selection or voting should determine leadership — insisting a vote was needed since the roles were new, while the mayor and legal advisors argued it was a simple selection process. The standoff escalated into accusations of illegitimacy and personal attacks, culminating in the PNM’s dramatic exit — calling the mayor unfit and his conduct “hooliganism.” This power struggle reveals deepening rifts in local governance and signals escalating political battles ahead.
