The Prime Minister's official car, PM 1, could not start, and had to be towed from the scene shortly after midnight. Persad-Bissessar accepted a ride home with a supporter driving a sub-compact.
Persad-Bissessar, who decided not to go to the party's headquarters at Rienzi Complex, Couva, spoke with members of the media surrounded by a small group of supporters. None were members of her government.

Acting Prime Minister Winston Dookeran had to literally hitch a ride to Piarco International Airport yesterday to bid Prime Minister Kamla Persad-Bissessar good-bye.
Persad-Bissessar, who arrived at the airport by helicopter, left for Australia to attend the Commonwealth Heads of Government Meeting (CHOGM) 2011 where she will also be handing over the chair of commonwealth to Australia's Prime Minister, Julia Gillard.
Dookeran arrived at the VIP lounge of the airport after Persad-Bissessar concluded a news conference and left for her British Airways flight.
Dookeran said he had car problems on the way to the airport and was thankful a good Samaritan, Andrew DeVignes, stopped to give him a drop.
"Well, on the way, my car stalled on the highway, between Trincity and here, and I had to get out and wave down someone to bring me here," said Dookeran.
Dookeran said DeVignes was kind enough to stop and help him, but "that was after a good few people pass by, eh...he brought me here, and I unfortunately reached a bit late".
"I will give him (DeVignes) a call; he was kind enough to drop me here and tell me in these times, he admire anybody who wants to lead...and I thank him," said Dookeran.
Dookeran said there was a bit of misunderstanding as he thought he had to reach the airport at 5.15 p.m.
Persad-Bissessar herself arrived late at the airport. She landed on the tarmac at 4.55 p.m. via helicopter, then had a ten-minute news conference before taking her flight.
She said she was leaving with a heavy heart, but she stressed she is leaving the Government in capable hands.
"I am leaving the Government of Trinidad and Tobago in very capable hands, in the honourable Winston Dookeran," said Persad-Bissessar.
She pointed out that last month, she curtailed her trip to the UN General Assembly because of the State of Emergency, however, she said her journey to Australia is an important one as it is her duty to hand over the stewardship of the Commonwealth.
The Prime Minister said although she will be afar, through technology, she'll be hands-on with respect to what is happening in Trinidad and Tobago.
"Thanks to the proliferation of information and communication technology and the access to information we now have at our fingertips, so my BlackBerry will be on BBM, text and roam," said Persad-Bissessar.
She also announced that the Office of the Prime Minister has a new upgraded website—www. opm.gov.tt.
She said the people of this country will be informed of all the latest news coming out from the Office of the Prime Minister. The Prime Minister is expected to return home in the first week of November.

And then, in a delicious piece of irony, the “PM1” refused to take Persad-Bissessar to Siparia and a supporter had to give her a lift home in a Cube instead.......................
From soaring over voters in a helicopter, it must be quite a climbdown to be hopping a drop in an imitation Hummer.
