Trinidad and Tobago is a multi-party parliamentary democracy with two major political parties. The People’s National Movement (PNM) and the United National Congress (UNC). The PNM, led by Prime Minister Dr. Keith Rowley, is a centre-right party that has been in power since 2015. It advocates for fiscal conservatism and limited government intervention, while also striving to improve social welfare programs. The UNC, led by Opposition Leader Kamla Persad-Bissessar, is a centre-left party that emphasizes social justice and economic equality. It has been in opposition since 2015, but remains popular among the country’s population. Both parties have traditionally maintained cordial relations with each other despite their ideological differences. Elections are held every five years to elect members of Parliament and to choose a Prime Minister from the majority party or coalition. In recent years there has been an increase in support for third-party candidates as well as independent candidates who are not affiliated with any particular political party. This has resulted in more diverse representation in Parliament as citizens seek to get their voices heard on important issues affecting them and their country.
