Trinidad and Tobago to hold early elections April 28

Trinidad and Tobago's newly appointed Prime Minister Stuart Young has called a general election for April 28, 2025, just a day after taking office. This decision follows the resignation of former Prime Minister Keith Rowley, and is seen as a strategic move by Young to secure a fresh mandate from voters. The election will be significant as it will occur under newly redrawn constituency boundaries aimed at improving representation. Political parties, including the People's National Movement (PNM) and the Tobago People’s Party (TPP), are preparing their campaigns, with the TPP expressing readiness to contest the elections. Young's swift action to dissolve Parliament and schedule elections highlights the urgency of addressing pressing national issues. The election date and preparations set the stage for a critical moment in Trinidad and Tobago's political landscape.
