A major row is developing in Trinidad and Tobago over the choice of the next ceremonial president with the main opposition party threatening a street war if the Keith Rowley administration goes ahead with the nomination of Senate President Christine Kangaloo as the next head of state.

Retired Trinidadian and regional judge Paula Mae Weekes is sticking to her initial plan to only serve only a single five-year term so as she heads into retirement, the two main political parties are fighting to ensure one of their own gets the top position, even though the position is titular and non-executive.
