@Fredyow beat me to it, but it’s official, T&T has a new prime minister, a woman!  Big ups to Mrs Kamla Persad-Bissessar, the new prime minister.

Representing the United National Congress (UNC) party for whom she was elected leader on January 24th, 2010, Kamla Persad-Bissessar was elected the first female Prime Minister of Trinidad and Tobago, winning  29 of 41 seats in the parliament last night (May 24, 2010).

Congrats to all the Trinbagonians, whether you supported her or Patrick Manning.  Congrats Ms. Persad-Bissessar.
