As cit­i­zens head to the polls to­day, the Pres­by­ter­ian Church of Trinidad and To­ba­go is pray­ing that the process is peace­ful and crime-free.

Two days be­fore the Gen­er­al Elec­tion, Prime Min­is­ter Stu­art Young urged cit­i­zens to be cau­tious as he ac­cused the Unit­ed Na­tion­al Con­gress (UNC) of of­fer­ing mon­ey to cit­i­zens in ex­change for void­ing their votes.

Af­ter be­ing chal­lenged by Peo­ple's Na­tion­al Move­ment's To­ba­go West can­di­date Sham­fa Cud­joe-Lewis to face her with­out a script, To­ba­go Peo­ple's Par­ty can­di­date Joel “Nuttsy” Samp­son brushed her off, telling her to “take yuh mind off me."

Pro­gres­sive De­mo­c­ra­t­ic Pa­tri­ots (PDP) Po­lit­i­cal Leader Wat­son Duke has hit back at Chief Sec­re­tary and leader of the To­ba­go Peo­ple’s Par­ty Far­ley Au­gus­tine, ac­cus­ing him of dis­re­spect and be­tray­al.

Unit­ed Na­tion­al Con­gress (UNC) par­ty or­gan­is­er Bar­ry Padarath be­lieves the par­ty has run its best gen­er­al elec­tion cam­paign in re­cent his­to­ry be­cause they did not op­er­ate “UNC-ish” this time around.

A re­cent da­ta-dri­ven fore­cast by Cana­di­an con­sul­tan­cy firm Dunn Pierre Bar­nett and Com­pa­ny (DP­BA) has pre­dict­ed a nar­row vic­to­ry for the Unit­ed Na­tion­al Con­gress (UNC) in the up­com­ing Gen­er­al Elec­tion on Mon­day.

The mar­gin­al con­stituen­cy of La Hor­quet­ta/Tal­paro is one of the largest of the 41 con­stituen­cies.

With just three days to go be­fore the Gen­er­al Elec­tion, the Coun­cil for Re­spon­si­ble Po­lit­i­cal Be­hav­iour has flagged a spike in se­ri­ous breach­es of the Code of Eth­i­cal Po­lit­i­cal Con­duct, rais­ing con­cerns about the tone and tac­tics emerg­ing in the fi­nal days of the cam­paign.

As the coun­try pre­pares to head to the polls on Mon­day, Peo­ple’s Na­tion­al Move­ment (PNM) gen­er­al sec­re­tary Fos­ter Cum­mings is con­fi­dent his par­ty will win the 2025 Gen­er­al Elec­tion.

For­mer Ch­agua­nas West MP Di­nesh Ram­bal­ly says he washed his hands of the Unit­ed Na­tion­al Con­gress (UNC) well be­fore he ap­peared at the Peo­ple’s Na­tion­al Move­ment po­lit­i­cal meet­ing.

Days be­fore T&T de­cides who will lead it for the next five years, Min­is­ter of Na­tion­al Se­cu­ri­ty Mar­vin Gon­za­les says he is aware of who may be be­hind a pur­port­ed plot to dis­rupt the gen­er­al elec­tions.

To­ba­go Peo­ple’s Par­ty (TPP) leader Far­ley Au­gus­tine says the po­lit­i­cal ca­reer of his for­mer al­ly Wat­son Duke is over and he’s ready to bury it on April 28.
