I started off this campaign by saying, you will be the real heroes in this story. And I end this campaign saying the same, You are the real heroes in this story of Trinidad and Tobago. All of you, I cannot single out one or two or three. There have been so many thousands of you working in your zones, working in your sections.”  

She further noted that today was a really great display of cooperation and of hard work where everyone stood in their zone and worked. Whether the seat was superior, whether the seat was Saint Joseph, whether it was to Napuna, whichever seat it was, we had teams and teams of activists and people working every single seat. And so they did so well.  

She expressed delight to the people and citizens and added, “All of you, thank you for showing up. Thank you for staying on the course and believing in our great party.”  

PNM expressed disappointment over the defeat and added that they will work to rebuild.
