election
Will Prime Minister Patrick Manning call the date for the 2010 general election when he addresses tonight’s public meeting of the ruling People’s National Movement (PNM) at Hi-Lo car park in St Augustine? That’s the question thousands of citizens, including those attending the PNM meeting and United National Congress’ (UNC) public meeting at Hi-Lo car park in Marabella, would like answered. Some sources said Manning would announce the election date in a major address. Last Thursday, on the advice of the Prime Minister, President George Maxwell Richards dissolved the Ninth Parliament at midnight, clearing the way for the holding of a general election within 90 days. In previous years, Manning had announced the election date in Parliament, but sources said he would have to break with tradition this year.
