May the party with the best policy for the nations interest win do the right thing
I leave everything in God’s hand. He has the last say. Whatever happens, may we all be able to accept it as He holds the future.
There are complaints about how slow the voting process is. In a polling station in the Maraval area, I witnessed the problem with the inexperienced, seemingly untrained poll clerks. I hope they catch on quickly because that could turn off many voters.
Any party that can reduce the crime rate is the chosen one, but too late now only god can decide.

TO OUR NEW PRIME MINISTER – GO GIRL!!
very good job kamla and the partnership party and may god bless trinidad and tobago.
Great for T&T, now we can look forward for real changes in our country.
Change Change Woman is boss
Now T&T under true leadership my prayers are with you now more than ever.You won the election the battle has now begun, be cautious and true to the people of T&T and they will forever support you. Woman in power ” you go girl”
Congratulations to change. Trinidad will rise again. Now we can come home and feel safe, especially when Kamala help control the major crime in beautiful trinidad.
I wish the country well, but unfortunately, there is not one name on the list of winners that can be identified as a progressive, as some one who would help bring the country
from the pits where it is now, to any level of democracy and social and economic justice.
Congratulations. Unlike here in UK your “marriage” was through choice before the event and not through necessity after it so I have more faith in yours lasting. As an outsider but with strong connections to beautiful T & T I see this as a wonderful opportunity for you to live up to the moving words of your National Anthem. Every journey starts with one small step and T & T seems to have taken it. Remember the whole is infinitely stronger than the sum of its parts. Only by using ALL the skillsof ALL your people can you hope to achieve your maximum.
Good luck to all.
