First woman Prime Minister in Trinidad

TRINIDAD: Prime Minister Patrick Manning was ousted on Monday in Trinidad and Tobago’s general election, with a coalition of opposition parties winning at least 27 of 41 seats in Parliament, according to preliminary results.

Former Attorney General Kamla Persad-Bissessar is set to become the first woman Prime Minister in the energy-rich Caribbean nation. She heads the United National Congress (UNC), which put together a coalition to oust Manning’s People’s National Movement (PNM). Manning conceded defeat after an election that saw him accused of mismanaging funds and spending exorbitantly on public buildings, charges that he denied.

“I take full responsibility,” Manning said. “We have lost and we have conceded.”

Manning called snap elections midway in the five-year term of his administration to thwart an opposition motion of no-confidence in him. Port of Spain, Tuesday, Reuters
