Meanwhile, Deputy Political Leader of the PDP, Farley Augustine, said during his victory speech that this win is a “solid message” to the Government that Tobago has rejected the Autonomy Bill and want more. He noted during his speech, "Money does not win election but good heart and plenty guts wins election. Tobagonians cannot be bought or sold." He said under the PDP, there will be one Tobago, where every community benefits equally. He promised a new day for Tobago.
