Indirect presidential elections were held in Trinidad and Tobago on 14 February 2003.[1]
The incumbent A. N. R. Robinson was eligible for re-election, but opted not to stand, as he was retiring from politics.
The election was held through an electoral college consisting of a joint sitting of the two houses of parliament.
The governing People's National Movement nominated chemical engineer George Maxwell Richards for the position, while the opposition United National Congress nominated Ganace Ramdial, a banker and legal consultant who had served as the President of the Senate from 1995 to 2002.
