THE Opposition Leader, Kamla Persad-Bissessar, has written to Prime Minister Stuart Young, with a request for independent international election observers for the April 28 general election.

Despite the government’s invitation to Caricom observers, the opposition said it strongly believes that independent, non-Caribbean international observers are necessary to ensure a free and fair electoral process.

Underscoring “the government’s troubling track record on democratic integrity,” the Persad-Bissessar has called on the Prime Minister to act immediately and invite independent international observers to safeguard the credibility of the 2025 general election.
