The 2025 Trinidad and Tobago general election will be held on 28 April 2025 to elect all 41 members of the House of Representatives. President Christine Kangaloo, on the advice of Prime Minister Stuart Young, dissolved parliament and issued the writs for election on March 18, 2025.

It will be the first election after the Elections and Boundaries Commission (EBC) redrew the lines for 16 constituencies, and renamed 5.[1] Seventeen political parties and three independents will contest the election.[2]

Electoral system

[edit]

The 41 members of the House of Representatives are elected by first-past-the-post voting in single-member constituencies. Registered voters must be 18 years and over, must reside in an electoral district/constituency for at least two months prior to the qualifying date, be a citizen of Trinidad and Tobago or a Commonwealth citizen residing legally in Trinidad and Tobago for a period of at least one year.

If one party obtains a majority of seats, then that party is entitled to form the Government, with its leader as Prime Minister. If the election results in no single party having a majority, then there is a hung parliament. In this case, the options for forming the Government are either a minority government or a coalition government.[3]

Parties

[edit]

Political parties registered with the Elections and Boundaries Commission (EBC) can contest the general election as a party.[4]

The leader of the party commanding a majority of support in the House of Representatives is the person who is called on by the president to form a government as Prime Minister, while the leader of the largest party or coalition not in government becomes the Leader of the Opposition.[5]

The People's National Movement and the United National Congress have been the two biggest parties, in addition to having supplied every prime minister since 1991.[6]

The following registered parties are contesting the general election. 11 parties have expressed interest in contesting the election.[7]

Candidates by constituency

[edit]

The Elections and Boundaries Commission (EBC) report of 13 March 2024 on constituency boundary reviews resulted in the renaming of five constituencies: Arouca/Maloney became Trincity/Maloney, D'Abadie/O'Meara became Malabar/Mausica, Lopinot/Bon Air West became Arouca/Lopinot, St Joseph became Aranguez/St Joseph, and Pointe-à-Pierre became Claxton Bay. The report also recommended maintaining the current total of 41 constituencies, with 39 seats in Trinidad and two in Tobago. Minister in the Ministry of Education and Member of Parliament for D'Abadie/O'Meara renamed Malabar/Mausica from this election, Lisa Morris-Julian was re-selected by the PNM as the candidate for the seat on 3 December 2024, but died in a house fire along with two of her children, on 16 December 2024. Non-minister MPs who are not standing for re-election are marked (‡). Government ministers are in bold, prime ministerial candidates and party leaders are in italics.
