It's official.

Former Justice Anthony Carmona was this afternoon elected to be the next President of the Republic of Trinidad and Tobago. The declaration was made House Speaker Wade Mark at a meeting of the Electoral College, at the Parliament Chamber, International Waterfront, Port-of-Spain.

President-elect Carmona, the only nominee for the position, will assume the position March 18, when he is inaugurated at Knowsley Building, Queens Park Savannah, Port-of-Spain.

Outgoing President George Maxwell Richards left the country yesterday on vacation. As a result, Senate President Timothy Hamel-Smith will act as President during the absence.
