National Alliance For Reconstruction
The National Alliance for Reconstruction
(NAR) was the governing party in
Trinidad and Tobago
from
1986
-
1991
. It was founded in
1986
out of an accommodation between the National Alliance (consisting of the
United Labour Front
led by
Basdeo Panday
, the
Democratic Action Congress
led by
A.N.R. Robinson
and the
Tapia House Movment
led by
Lloyd Best
) and the
Organisation for National Reconstruction
(led by
Karl Hudson-Phillips
.) The party defeated the ruling
People's National Movement
in the 1986 elections, winning 33 of the 36 seats in the national parliament. Following a split in the party in
1988
(which led to the formation of the
United National Congress
), and the subsequent defections of five MPs to the Independent benches, the NAR was defeated in the
1991
general elections, winning only two seats. It retained those seats in the
1995
general elections and entered government as junior partner to the United National Congress. The party later withdrew from this arrangement, although its MPs remained in government. It won only one seat in the
2000
elections, and lost even that in the
2001
elections. The party suffered a further loss in
2004
when a portion of the
Tobago
wing of the party led by
Hochoy Charles
split away from the NAR and re-formed the DAC. The NAR has no representation in the current parliament, and lost its last representatives in the
Tobago House of Assembly
in the
January
2005
elections. Its current leader is
Lennox Sankersingh
.
