The opposition in the Caribbean twin-island nation of Trinidad and Tobago has won a decisive victory in Monday’s parliamentary election, preliminary results suggest.
The win by the centrist United National Congress (UNC) party means that Kamla Persad-Bissessar will be appointed as the next prime minister.
The 73-year-old already held the post once before, from 2010 to 2015, but her party was defeated in the last two elections by the centre-left People’s National Movement (PNM).
Preliminary results suggest the UNC, which campaigned on a promise to raise wages and create employment, managed to win a number of parliamentary seats previously held by the PNM.
Let’s hope he does a good job.
