One day after he was sworn in to office, Prime Minister Stuart Young called a snap general election for April 28.

The notice also came 48 hours after the PNM presented its 41 candidates at a lively rally at Woodford Square, Port of Spain, at which Dr Keith Rowley gave his political swansong hours before bowing out as prime minister at midnight on March 16.

Titled, Prime Minister Young Calls General Election, the notice on March 18 from the Office of the Prime Minister said Young had advised President Christine Kangaloo to dissolve Parliament at midnight.
