| Race too
close to call in Trinidad & Tobago |
 November
5, 2007: Citizens of Trinidad and Tobago, head to the
polls on Monday in a race that according to several sources,
is too close to call for the 41 seats up for grabs in the
Republic.
The incumbent People’s National Movement (PNM) led by
Patrick Manning is being challenged by the United National
Congress Alliance (UNC-A) led jointly by former Prime
Minister Basdeo Panday and businessman Jack Warner and the
Congress of the People (COP) led by former UNC
political leader Winston Dookeran. |

According to a
recent poll performed by the North American Caribbean
Teachers Association (NACTA) the PNM is projected to win 16
to 27 seats, the UNC-A 14 to 22 or 24 seats and the COP,
none. The uncertainty arises because 11 of the seats are too
close to call, all having the likelihood of going to either
the PNM or opposition UNC-A.
According to T&T's Newsday,
Elections and Boundaries Commission’s (EBC) Research Officer
Neisha Ali, on Friday, indicated that close to 5000 more
women than men are likely to cast their vote. She also
confirmed that 990,351 persons were eligible to cast
ballots in 1,483 polling stations for 130 candidates who
include five independents. |
