Former association president ACP Anand Ramesar is eligible to run for office again as president of the Trinidad and Tobago Police Service Social and Welfare Association (TTPSWA).

Justice Frank Seepersad on August 27 dismissed a legal challenge seeking to block Ramesar from contesting the association’s 2025 elections.

Seepersad said Ramesar, who served three consecutive terms between 2010 and 2019 before stepping away for six years, was not disqualified because of his break in service. The judge had to consider Rule 18 of the association’s amended Articles of Association to determine Ramesar’s eligibility. In a previous ruling in July, he ruled on another aspect of the challenge filed by a group of police officers contesting the TTPSWA’s election under the team, Voices in Blue. Ramesar leads Team Equity.
