The executive decided to step down effective 4 p.m. Monday following a meeting with PNM leadership, Alexis said in a statement reported by the Trinidad and Tobago Guardian. The resignation includes the remaining members of the constituency executive, after several members had already left during the dispute. Alexis also said she would not seek re-election as constituency chairman, while members of the outgoing executive remain free to contest positions on a new executive. The decision followed efforts by party leadership to address tensions between Manning and Alexis and implement recommendations from an internal inquiry into the dispute.

The dispute became increasingly public in recent weeks, with Manning raising concerns about the management of the constituency organization and making allegations involving elements within the party. PNM Chairman Marvin Gonzales subsequently criticized Manning's handling of the disagreement and said the party's internal processes should be respected. Party leadership has indicated that disciplinary action could be considered, while the executive has defended Alexis. The upheaval comes after former Education Minister Hazel Manning, Brian Manning's mother and the widow of former Prime Minister Patrick Manning, announced that she intends to contest the San Fernando East chairmanship when constituency elections are held next month.
