TRINIDAD & TOBAGO: Opposition UNC claims emphatic victory
Stuart Young did not last long as prime minister of Trinidad & Tobago. No sooner did Young succeed the long-serving Keith Rowley, who retired in January, than he called snap elections, four months before they were constitutionally due, to win his own mandate on 28 April. It did not go to plan. Young’s People’s National Movement (PNM) was turfed out of power and consigned to a period in opposition. Kamla Persad-Bissessar returns for a second stint as prime minister at the head of the United National Congress (UNC) with a large majority in parliament.
