Talk:Democratic National Alliance (Trinidad and Tobago)

Untitled edit

This party was never formalised and the movement to create it has ceased. The Democratic National Assembly released press statements on 29 June 2006 and 4 July 2006 stating that "The Democratic National Assembly (DNA) has taken the principled decision that it will no longer be pursuing an “Alliance” with either the NAR, Mr. Gerald Yetming or the DPTT, as a direct result of their unprincipled actions which have proved contrary to the spirit of open and honest negotiations. In this context therefore, the DNA takes this opportunity to state as a matter of national importance, that the party does not currently have a working relationship with Mr. Winston Dookeran nor has such a relationship existed in the past. The DNA assures the national populace that the members of this party remain committed to building a representative body which is strong, based on integrity and guided solely and ultimately by the needs of the people of this nation."

It has also asserted that "The DNA party structure, name and motto of ‘Country First’ remain the intellectual property of the Democratic National Assembly and may not be used by any unauthorized persons."

The others have since announced a National Democratic Alliance with Michael Sims, and they also continue to follow Winston Dookeran. The Democratic National Assembly continues as the DNA.
