Guyana finally escaped the political torture chamber or, has it just stepped outside for a few years? The seat count in that House of Assembly is precarious at best.
Trinidad and Tobago are preparing to count the votes. It is expected that the incumbent will be returned to office. Something to look forward to, because T & T will begin to open its economy once the elections are over.
In Jamaica, the political parties are behind the starting gates. The Jamaican Prime Minister is touring constituencies in his Clark’s desert boots. A sure sign that the sprint is about to begin.

In Antigua and Barbuda, the Gaston Browne administration, is eyeing the grounded LIAT airlines, with hawk-eyed precision. That species of the “iron bird” could be one of the government’s trump cards when elections are next held in the island paradise.

Walk good until next time.
