POLITICAL Leader of the Movement for Social Justice (MSJ) David Abdulah said the announcement of an early election would give the country time to breathe as "pressure has been building by the actions of former prime minister Dr Keith Rowley and his government."

Abdulah said, "He has departed but he has handpicked Young, who is continuing Rowley's legacy, to be his successor. The country needs to exhale. Needs to breathe."

He was speaking at MSJ's Tuesday Talk where the topic of discussion was centred on the 50th anniversary of the Bloody Tuesday workers' action, the issue of democracy and the 2025 elections.
