He was speaking at a news conference held at the party's headquarters in Scarborough on Tuesday.
"On Thursday of this week, persons wishing to seek nominations for the East and West constituencies under the name of the Tobago Organisation of the People can pick up their nomination papers right here at the party's headquaters, starting at 9am. That will go on for about two weeks and then screening would start immediately after that, and candidates will be announced thereafter. Since it's only two seats, it's not supposed to take long," Jack said.
The Tobago East seat is currently held by Vernella Alleyne-Toppin, who has been the subject of several controversies during her tenure. Tobago West is being held by Dr Delmon Baker who is no longer an active TOP member.
Jack said the TOP has a membership of about 4,000, many of whom would be suitable candidates for screening. But the nature of politics in Trinidad and Tobago may be a deterrent, he said.
"There are a number of persons who don't want to get involved in politics because of the cut and thrust of politics, so yes there's a number of persons who fit the bill, but it's the matter for those persons if they want to present themselves to run for public office," he said.
The People's National Movement (PNM) has already announced Ayanna Webster-Roy and Shamfa Cudjoe as its candidates for Tobago West and East respectively.
The Tobago Forwards have announced that their Tobago East candidate is Regis Caruth.
Independent candidate Watson Duke has launched his campaign in the East.
Political leader of The Platform of Truth (TPT) Hochoy Charles has also signaled his party’s interest in running for both seats.
