The Presbyterian Church of Trinidad and Tobago (PCTT), during the opening session of its 65th Annual General Meeting (AGM) of Synod on April 24, 2025, issued a clarion call to all citizens to exercise their civic duty by voting in the National General Elections on Monday, April 28, 2025.
The PCTT emphasizes the importance of active democratic participation and urges every eligible voter to thoughtfully select a government committed to:
- Sustainable Economic Growth– Policies that ensure long-term prosperity for all citizens.
- People-Centric Governance– Leadership that prioritizes the welfare and dignity of every individual with the hallmark of equity and inclusivity.
- A Secure and Stable Society– Measures to safeguard communities and uphold the rule of law from internal and external threats.
- Enhanced Infrastructure, Healthcare, and Education– Investments in critical sectors for national development.
- Progress Toward First-World Status – Visionary leadership to advance Trinidad and Tobago on the global stage.
In alignment with its Christian values, the PCTT appeals for:
- Respect for the Electoral Process– Acceptance of the people’s verdict with maturity and patriotism.
- Cooperation with Authorities– Compliance with electoral officials and security personnel to ensure order.
- A Peaceful and Crime-Free Election Day– A collective commitment to uphold the nation’s democratic traditions.
- The Church reinforces this message with the scriptural exhortation: “Let every person be subject to the governing authorities for there is no authority except from God”(Romans 13:1).

Let us vote responsibly, act peacefully, and work together toward a brighter future.
