Prime Minister Keith Rowley has announced that the Government will nominate Senator the Honourable Christine Kangaloo to serve as the next President of the Republic of Trinidad and Tobago. She previously acted as President for seven (7) years in this country and was a Member of Parliament for Pointe-a-Pierre. She currently serves as President of the Senate. The announcement was made a few minutes ago (Friday 6th January 2023) during a live Press Conference at the Diplomatic Centre, St. Ann’s. Prime Minister Rowley met earlier today with Opposition Leader Kamla Persad-Bissessar for discussions regarding the appointment of a person to serve as President of the Republic of Trinidad and Tobago. Several other Ministers, from both United National Congress (UNC) and People’s National Movement (PNM) were also present. The Prime Minister said, “The meeting went very well. [We agreed it best] if we have consensus.”
The Opposition, however, has requested more time to nominate a suitable candidate. Opposition Leader Kamla Persad-Bissessar, leaving the Diplomatic Centre, also said discussions were cordial but expressed scepticism about Kangaloo's lengthy ties with the PNM. When questioned about a potential conflict, P.M. Rowley said, “The PNM as an institution...does not subscribe to the view that if you have been associated with the PNM, you are disqualified [from taking the Office of the President].” Incumbent Paula-Mae Weekes' term as President ends in March and the Electoral College is due to meet to elect her successor on 20th January 2023.
