Two political scientists suggest that citizens could be heading to the polls in August, as it may be the most strategic time for prime minister-designate Stuart Young to call the general election.
Young, who is currently serving as acting prime minister while Dr Keith Rowley is in California, is set to assume full leadership following Rowley’s official resignation on March 16.
With general election ahead later this year, political scientist Derek Ramsamooj believes Young will aim for a timing that maximises his chances of winning. He said several key factors must be considered, including the mid-year budget review, which he predicts will be used to sway voters.
