Unit­ed Na­tion­al Con­gress (UNC) leader Kam­la Per­sad-Bisses­sar is ex­pect­ed to be sworn in as Trinidad and To­ba­go’s ninth prime min­is­ter by to­mor­row, ac­cord­ing to plans so far, say UNC of­fi­cials.

Par­ty of­fi­cials have been work­ing with the Of­fice of the Prime Min­is­ter and Pres­i­dent’s House on the swear­ing-in func­tion. This fol­lows the UNC’s vic­to­ry in Mon­day’s Gen­er­al Elec­tion, where the Peo­ple’s Na­tion­al Move­ment (PNM) lost just un­der half of its for­mer 22 seats to the UNC and To­ba­go Peo­ple’s Par­ty (TPP).

Al­so to be sworn in will be an at­tor­ney gen­er­al. Both of­fices to­geth­er form the cor­ner­stone of the Cab­i­net.
