Secretary-General of the Caribbean Community (CARICOM) Ambassador Irwin LaRocque has extended congratulations to the new Prime Minister of Trinidad and Tobago Dr the Honourable Keith Rowley.
The CARICOM Elections Observation Mission to Trinidad and Tobago’s general elections on Monday say voters were able to cast their ballots without intimidation or harassment and the results reflect the will of the people.
The Mission, in its Preliminary Statement issued Tuesday, however called for guidelines and regulations on the use of social media in election campaigns, noting that one of the major concerns on election day was the alleged sending out of text messages advising electors how to vote.
