It’s a super year for politics in the Caribbean region as General Elections will be called in several countries where constitutionally due. Trinidad and Tobago, Jamaica, Suriname, Guyana and St Vincent and the Grenadines are among the larger CARICOM countries which will command the attention of the region as voters either choose to keep current governments in power or decide whether it’s time for a changing of the guard. Many of these governments during their tenure would have contended with the effects of COVID-19, increasing gun violence and natural disasters coupled with the effects of climate change.
