Incoming prime minister Stuart Young yesterday declined comment on his imminent appointment, following the announcement by Prime Minister Dr Keith Rowley that he was demitting office on March 16.

Young has however within the last three months been moving around the country and has been receiving enthusiastic responses from audiences, whether it is at the Calypso Fiesta in Skinner Park, San Fernando; Panorama Prelims and Semis, Junior Panorama; the Carnival Village at the Queen’s Park Savannah, Port of Spain; walkabouts in Moruga/Tableland and Toco/Sangre, Laventille East/Morvant, or in his own constituency of Port of Spain North/St Ann’s West.

Last night, he was expected to attend the stick-fighting competition in Skinner Park.
