The Hon.

Patrick Manning was the longest-serving member of the House of Representatives.[2] He was the Leader of the Opposition from 1986 to 1990 and again from 1995 to 2001.
Manning was born in San Fernando and received his secondary education at Presentation College, San Fernando, and his bachelor's degree from the University of the West Indies at Mona, in 1969. After graduation, he returned to Trinidad, where he worked as a geologist for Texaco. Trinidadian historian Dr Bridget Brereton published his biography in May 2024 titled, Manning.
