PNM’s Narrow Wins and Internal Tensions | Trinidad and Tobago News

Dr. Shane Mohammed is challenging the PNM’s narrative that Brian Manning’s narrow win in San Fernando East signals a decline in party popularity, pointing out that several other PNM candidates—including Penelope Beckles, Marvin Gonzales, and Dominic Romain—also won by similarly slim margins. In fact, Manning ranked eleventh among the party’s thirteen winners based on victory margin, ahead of Gonzales and Romain. He argues that blaming Manning alone ignores the role of local executives and questions whether internal party conflicts predated the election. Additionally, he raises concerns about the seven complaints under review by the PNM’s Investigations Committee, noting they come from multiple constituencies and may reflect broader internal politics rather than localized issues.
