00:00Secretary Fahli Augustin met on Thursday afternoon with election observers and told TV6 News he looks forward to this country, proceeding with free and fair elections.
00:09Mr. Augustin said this country, despite its size, has remained a place where there is a peaceful transfer of power.
00:18The conversations went pretty well, and in those conversations we were able to discuss what might be potential gaps in our voting system
00:29and how we close those gaps.
00:32But one of the things I want to stress is that, by and large, Trinidad and Tobago should be proud that we generally have free and fair elections
00:43and that we have a democracy that is generally free from violent responses to election results.
00:53Yes, people have utilized the court systems.
00:56People have protested in other ways, and that is okay.
01:01That's part of what makes our democracy great.
01:03And so we are looking forward to free and fair elections come April 28th.
01:09In fact, the process has started since Monday with our special electors, and we are going to engage the process.
01:18We are going to work with the election observers in making recommendations for how we can close the gaps in areas where there are gaps to be closed
01:29as we make our voting system a lot more robust than it is.
01:34We are going to work with the election of the election.
01:35We are going to work with the election of the election of the election of the election of the election of the election of the election of the election of the election of the election.
