PRIME Minister Stuart Young will invite the Carter Center to visit Trinidad and Tobago as observers for the April 28 general elections, he announced at a post-Cabinet briefing at Whitehall, St Ann’s on March 20.

He said he had instructed Minister of Foreign Affairs Dr Amery Browne to invite the US-based organisation.

He said he has already invited Commonwealth Secretary General Baroness Patricia Scotland to send an observer team, even as former PM Dr Keith Rowley had previously invited a Caricom observer team. Young said Rowley had invited Caricom via a letter of December 10, 2024, and Caricom had given an affirmative reply on January 13, 2025; this correspondence all preceding Young becoming PM and calling the election date.
