Trinidad and Tobago's centrist former prime minister Kamla Persad-Bissessar will return as leader of the Caribbean nation after her party's victory in Monday's parliamentary election, the electoral commission confirmed Tuesday.
Persad-Bissessar's United National Congress party won 26 of the 41 seats up for grabs in the House of Representatives, ahead of outgoing prime minister Stuart Young's center-left People's National Movement (PNM), which took 13 seats, according to the preliminary results.
