In a bold political move, Trinidad and Tobago’s new Prime Minister Stuart Young has called for a general election just a day after taking office. Young, who previously served as energy minister, assumed leadership on Monday following the resignation of long-time Prime Minister Keith Rowley, who stepped down after nearly a decade in power.
On Tuesday, Young advised the country’s president to dissolve parliament and set April 28 as the date for national elections. The decision is widely seen as an attempt to solidify his leadership with a fresh mandate from voters.
Young’s unexpected rise to power has sparked significant political interest in the Caribbean island nation. With his background in energy policy, his leadership could signal a shift in economic and governance strategies.
The upcoming election is expected to be a pivotal moment for Trinidad and Tobago, as the country navigates key issues such as economic stability, energy sector reforms, and governance challenges. Political analysts predict a highly competitive race, with opposition parties eager to challenge Young’s leadership.
As the election campaign unfolds, all eyes are on Young and his strategy to secure voter support in a nation eager for continued stability and growth.
