Prime Minister Stuart Young (L) faces a serious challenge from opposition leader Kamla Persad-Bissessar AFP Voters in violence-plagued Trinidad and Tobago went to the polls on Monday in elections that will decide whether Prime Minister Stuart Young remains in power. Former energy minister Young, 50, took over as prime minister of the Caribbean nation in March when party colleague Keith Rowley stepped down after 10 years in the job to make way for new blood. Young's center-left People's National Movement (PNM) has been lagging in polls behind the centrist United National Congress (UNC) of former prime minister Kamla Persad-Bissessar, 73.
