For­mer prime min­is­ter and po­lit­i­cal leader of the Peo­ple’s Na­tion­al Move­ment (PNM), Dr Kei­th Row­ley, is stand­ing firm on his claim that he was not in­vit­ed to the par­ty’s 70th an­niver­sary cel­e­bra­tions, de­spite the par­ty pro­duc­ing ev­i­dence to the con­trary.

One year af­ter the Peo­ple’s Na­tion­al Move­ment (PNM) called the 2025 gen­er­al elec­tion, the par­ty is re­flect­ing on a po­lit­i­cal turn­ing point that end­ed its decade in gov­ern­ment.

A sharp war of words be­tween the cur­rent and for­mer heads of the Trinidad and To­ba­go Po­lice Ser­vice (TTPS) has height­ened ten­sions over the per­ceived in­de­pen­dence of the coun­try’s top law en­force­ment of­fice.

For­eign and Cari­com Af­fairs Min­is­ter Sean Sobers is firm­ly re­ject­ing claims by for­mer Prime Min­is­ter Dr Kei­th Row­ley that the now-re­moved radar in To­ba­go was de­ployed sole­ly to sup­port a Unit­ed States op­er­a­tion tar­get­ing Nicolás Maduro.
