Congress of the People (Trinidad and Tobago)
The Congress of the People (COP) was a political party in Trinidad and Tobago. Founded in 2000, it emerged from a broad-based civil society movement advocating for political and social reform. The party's platform generally focused on good governance, transparency, and accountability in government, differentiating itself from the established parties, the People's National Movement (PNM) and the United National Congress (UNC).
The COP participated in several general elections, achieving varying degrees of success. Its most significant electoral performance involved forming part of a coalition government.

The party played a notable role in the political landscape, often acting as a critical voice in parliament and advocating for alternative policies. While it never achieved outright majority government, its influence was felt through its advocacy and its participation in coalition governments.
Over time, internal disagreements and shifting political alliances led to a decline in the party's fortunes. [Further details on the internal factors and decline of the party are needed here]. The COP eventually ceased to be a significant political force in Trinidad and Tobago. [Details on its eventual dissolution or transformation are needed here].
