History
The party was formed from 13 Tobago House of Assembly members who had been elected as part of the Progressive Democratic Patriots in the December 2021 snap election. In 2022 they resigned from the PDP leaving the party leader, Watson Duke, as the sole PDP member of the Tobago House of Assembly.[3][4]
The party won both Tobago seats in the 2025 Trinidad and Tobago general election taking both seats from the People's National Movement. This also marks the first time since 2013 that three political parties are represented Parliament. [5]
In the 2026 Tobago House of Assembly election, the TPP won a landslide victory, winning all 15 electoral districts.[6]
