PNM and Tobago – the historical facts ASHTON FORD ONE OF the most significant developments that cemented the sovereign State of TT was the appointment of the late Rennie Dumas, then parliamentary representative of Tobago East (2007), as the minister of local government. It was especially significant since some misguided Tobagonians are desperately attempting to separate the two islands following the tie (6-6) between the ruling People’s National Movement (PNM) and the Progressive Democratic Patriots (PDP) in the recent Tobago House of Assembly (THA) election. Dumas functioned in his ministerial role without any complaint from Trinidadians because he was a Member of Parliament and his appointment was made in accordance with the country’s Constitution by then prime minister Patrick Manning.
