Tobago Business Chamber: Early election date meant to catch UNC off guard
THE Tobago Business Chamber believes Prime Minister Stuart Young’s decision to announce April 28 as the date of the Trinidad and Tobago’s next general election is meant to catch the United National Congress off guard. “One can only imagine that the intention and thinking behind the calling of the election with such a short lead time with the election date being announced as April 28 is definitely intended to catch the Opposition maybe unawares or flat-footed or at least certainly not ready yet with their full list of 41 candidates because they have not yet announced a full list of 41...

Police told Guardian Media they are now exploring whether the killing was an act of retaliation, though they have not disclosed further details. George, of Pembroke, was...
