It is with much honor and great pleasure that the Office of the Pro-Chancellor of the University of Guyana extends congratulatory remarks to you and your Party on your unique landslide victory as the first female Prime Minister of Trinidad & Tobago.
Your landslide victory is testimony to the fact that democracy works within a multiethnic and multiracial society. Her alliance with Dr. Winston Dookeran’s COP created a new dawn for all Trinidadians, as the people of all ethnicities came out in full force in support of this alliance.

Kamla Persad-Bissessar was also Minister of Education in 1999-2001; she was a Senator in 1994-95.
Congratulations again on being the first female Prime Minister of the Caribbean!
