The People’s National Movement (PNM) is to mark the life and legacy of late prime minister George Chambers, who died 25 years ago on November 4.

The party is planning a series of events, led by Dr Nyan Gadsby-Dolly, including a youth essay/poetry competition, as well as an art competition, from October 17-30.

An exhibition will also be hosted at the National Library from November 4-18.

In a media release, the party encouraged the national community, especially young people, to participate in the upcoming events, in his honour.

Chambers (1928-1997) was TT’s second prime minister after Dr Eric Williams, and led the party to a general election victory in 1981. The release said he was known for “his courage, patriotism, boldness…and undisputed love for TT.”
