The Independent Liberal Party is a political party of Trinidad and Tobago. It was formed in July 2013, after Jack Austin Warner was not reselected as the candidate for the Chaguanas West by-election for the United National Congress party. It was launched at a political rally, in Jubilee Grounds, Pierre Road, Chaguanas.
Founder Jack Warner resigned in September, 2015 following the party defeat in the 2015 general election. He was replaced by attorney Rekha Ramjit, who had previously served as the party's chairman, and who defeated Simeon Mahabir in a 10 October 2015 internal party election.
