TCCP Leader André Ebanks said the party’s team reflects the right mix of experienced public servants and fresh voices, ensuring Cayman has the leadership it needs to move forward responsibly.

“We’ve brought together a team that understands the challenges our people face and is committed to real solutions,” Ebanks said. “Our candidates know that leadership isn’t about self-interest—it’s about building stronger, connected communities where every Caymanian has a fair chance to succeed.”

The TCCP is deeply committed to ensuring that every candidate reflects the party’s core values, objectives, and vision for a stronger Cayman Islands. Before aligning with any candidate, the party engages in careful deliberation and due diligence, assessing not only their experience and capabilities but, more importantly, their commitment to principled leadership, community engagement, and putting all Caymanians first.

“We are not just selecting candidates—we are building a team that shares a common purpose and a deep sense of responsibility to the Caymanian people,” Ebanks said. “Every individual standing with the TCCP believes in fairness, responsible leadership, and putting country above self-interest. That unity of purpose is what sets us apart.”

He said the TCCP offers voters a genuine alternative—a leadership team that is not stuck in the past like the Progressives (PPM) nor lacking the experience needed to govern like the Cayman Islands New Party (CINP).

“Caymanians deserve strong, capable leadership—not the same old politics and not uncertainty,” he said. “The TCCP brings the right mix of proven governance and new energy to guide our country forward in a fair, responsible, and inclusive way.”

The TCCP also called on all parties and candidates to commit to a respectful and issue-focused election campaign, free of personal attacks and distractions.

“The Cayman Islands deserves an election where leaders put forward ideas, not insults,” Ebanks said. “We urge all candidates to focus on what truly matters—shared better opportunities, responsible economic growth, and a stronger, more unified community.”

Since its launch, the TCCP has seen an overwhelming groundswell of public support, reflecting the growing demand for leadership that puts people first. The party’s message of fairness, responsible governance, and community-driven progress has resonated across the Cayman Islands, drawing strong engagement from voters eager for a new approach.

“The response from Caymanians has been inspiring,” Ebanks said. “People are ready for leadership that listens, that engages, and that truly represents their interests. This movement is powered by the community, and we are humbled by the trust and enthusiasm we’ve received.”

With the official nomination process complete, TCCP is eager to continue engaging with voters across all districts, listening to their concerns, and working towards a Cayman that prioritises fairness, opportunity, and community-driven leadership.
