The April 28 parliamentary general election in Trinidad & Tobago is shaping up to be too close to call, according to the Trinidad & Tobago Guardian newspaper.
Based on the just-released results of a Guardian Media-commissioned public opinion poll, the main opposition United National Congress (UNC), currently has the statistical edge over the incumbent People's National Movement (PNM) in key marginal seats in Trinidad, while the PNM is leading in Tobago.
In the last parliamentary election on August 10, 2020, the two Tobago seats were won by the PNM, while the UNC captured six of the swing seats and the PNM five.
According to the Guardian, since then, however, the political dynamics in the country have changed and that is being reflected in the results of the independent survey conducted by respected pollster and political scientist Professor Hamid Ghany.
The poll was conducted from April 10 to April 13 in 11 marginal constituencies.
Views were also canvassed in Tobago on political support and national issues using the same questionnaire methodology over the same four-day period.
Pollster Ghany stopped short of issuing any declarations on the final seat count.
