The National Joint Action Committee is a black nationalist political party in Trinidad and Tobago.
(…)
The party was established in February 1969 by Makandal Daaga (then known as Geddes Granger), who was dissatisfied with the fact that most businesses in Trinidad at the time were owned by the white minority. The party first contested national elections in 1981,[2] when it received 3.3% of the vote, but failed to win a seat. In the 1986 elections the party's vote share was reduced to 1.5% and it remained seat-less. In the 1991 elections it received just 1.1% of the vote and again failed to win a seat.
