Stuart Young Sworn In as Trinidad and Tobago’s New Prime Minister

On Monday, Stuart Young was sworn in as the new Prime Minister of Trinidad and Tobago during an official ceremony at the President’s House in St Ann’s. Young. Young, who previously served as the Minister of Energy and Energy Industries, succeeds Dr Keith Rowley, who completed two terms in office.

Young’s vision focuses on youth empowerment, economic diversification beyond oil and gas, national unity, and sustainable development. He aims to strengthen sectors like tourism, agriculture, and technology while fostering inclusivity and social cohesion.

However, his tenure comes with significant challenges, including economic recovery post-COVID-19, political polarisation, and balancing energy sector interests with sustainability goals. His success will depend on his ability to address these issues while implementing policies that drive long-term progress for the country.
