TRINIDAD & TOBAGO: Towards a confused general election
Trinidad & Tobago’s parliament will be dissolved no later than 17 June (five years after its first sitting following the May 2010 election) and an election will be held by no later than 17 September, a maximum of three months after the dissolution of parliament. In stark contrast to former People’s National Movement (PNM) Prime Minister Patrick Manning, who disastrously called the 2010 election two years before he needed to, Prime Minister Kamla Persad-Bissessar of the ruling People’s Partnership (PP) alliance is using every scrap of time available to her. It may prove to be a wiser tactic than Manning’s, but events are not treating her kindly.
