Trinidad and Tobago, President George Maxwell Richards has been selected to serve a second five-year term in office. The 77 year old Head of State was nominated by 15 members of parliament in a gesture of confidence, as he was the only nominee named for the February 11 exercise. The republic of Trinidad and Tobago is currently governed by a Constitution that provides for a President, who is the Head of State and Commander in Chief of the Armed forces. Richards, the country's fourth President, was preceded by A.N.R. Robinson.
