According to the firm Dunn Pierre Barnett and Company Canada (DPBA), the elections of this April 28, when 41 seats of the local Parliament will be renewed, are emerging as the most adjusted in more than a decade in the Caribbean nation.
The evaluation considers that the UNC opposition, led by Kamla Persad-Bissssar, could unseat the ruler National Movement of the People (PNM), whose candidate is Stuart Young, although by a narrow margin.
The DPBA investigation combined surveys to more than five thousand people between March and April, applied artificial intelligence models, and analyzed the situation in 11 key districts, particularly marginal.
Among the factors that mark the intention to vote in favor of the UNC are the economic crisis that the country is going through, the high index of insecurity and the general discontent with the leadership of the PNM.
It showed the inquiry that more than 70 percent of respondents throughout the country considers that a change of government will improve conditions, and curiously 65 percent of the options follow the situation on government management through digital networks, in which the UNC is more active.
These elections mark a milestone after the resignation of Prime Minister Keith Rowley and the crisis of legitimacy and internal fragmentation faced by the PNM ruler, analysts coincide.
The report concludes that if the trends are maintained, Trinidad and Tobago will see an UNC government, although with a minimum majority that would reflect a deeply divided electorate.
