Kothdiwala set to become youngest Senator

Khaleel Kothdiwala is set to become the youngest member of Barbados’ Senate, Prime Minister Mia Amor Mottley announced earlier tonight as she closed her address on day two of the Barbados Labour Party’s annual general conference.

Mottley said she will advise President, the Most Honourable Jeffrey Bostic to appoint him. “So young man, we wish you all the best,” she said to loud applause under a large tent at the St George Secondary School.

He will fill the vacancy left by Senator Roshanna Trim, who is taking up diasporic affairs duties in the United Kingdom. Mottley thanked Trim for her contribution to the Senate, the League of Young Socialists and the party.
