A new PNM political leader will be chosen by party members casting ballots on June 22, with the results being announced at a special party convention a week later on June 29.

This news was presented by party's public relations officer Faris Al-Rawi on May 16 at a briefing at Balisier House, Port of Spain. He said the General Council earlier had just agreed – almost unanimously – to the special convention date, with just two abstentions out of about 100 people present and no one voting against.

Al-Rawi said all 16 elected posts in the party would be up for grabs, ranging from political leader to social media officer.
