How times change!Just over one month ago he was the leader of the People's National Movement (PNM) and the Prime Minister of Trinidad and Tobago.
But Patrick Manning is now reduced to just the MP for San Fernando East with Keith Rowey taking his job as PNM leader and Kamla Persad-Bissessar holding the top elected post in the country.
Manning decided his own fate by dissolving Parliament more than two years ahead of schedule and calling an election that reduced his party from a 26-seat majority to a weak 12-seat opposition.
If there is one lesson in all this it it is that in a democracy, people are the true masters and politicians must serve the people.
