A Commonwealth Observer Group (COG) will be in Trinidad and Tobago from April 22-30 to observe and make its findings on the conduct of the April 28 general election.

In a statement on April 17 in London, Commonwealth Secretary General Shirley Ayorkor Botchwey said the COG's deployment to TT is in keeping with the Commonwealth's "commitment to supporting democracy and good governance in our member states."

The team will be led by former Maltese foreign affairs minister Evarist Bartolo who has over 30 years of parliamentary experience.
