Trinidad and Tobago to Hold General Elections on April 28, 2025

Prime Minister Stuart Young has announced that Trinidad and Tobago will hold its next general elections on April 28, 2025. The announcement follows his official request to President Christine Kangaloo to dissolve Parliament, effective midnight on Tuesday, in accordance with Section 68 of the Constitution.

With the dissolution of Parliament, the country now enters full election mode. According to a statement from the Office of the Prime Minister, Nomination Day is set for April 4, 2025, giving political parties and candidates a formal deadline to submit their candidacies.

As previously reported, Young was officially sworn in as Trinidad and Tobago’s new Prime Minister on Monday, succeeding Dr. Keith Rowley after his two-term tenure.

Young, formerly the Minister of Energy and Energy Industries, has outlined a vision focused on youth empowerment, economic diversification, national unity, and sustainable development. He aims to expand sectors like tourism, agriculture, and technology while promoting inclusivity.
