Reginald Armour

He was named by Prime Minister Keith Rowley to replace Faris Al-Rawi.^[1] Upon his appointment, questions were asked by opposition politicians about his ability to be appointed to the Senate in light of the fact that he was born in Dominica and therefore holds Dominican citizenship.^[2][3][4][5] The Constitution of Trinidad and Tobago states that "No person shall be qualified to be appointed as a Senator who is a citizen of a country other than Trinidad and Tobago having become such a citizen voluntarily or is under a declaration of allegiance to such a country".^[3] However, the legal consensus is that because Armour is a Dominican citizen through birth rather than naturalization, he is eligible to be appointed to the Senate.^[3][4]

Before being named Attorney General, Armour served on the Eastern Caribbean Supreme Court and the Supreme Court of Trinidad and Tobago.^[6]

Reginald Armour resigned as Attorney General in March 2025. He has since been offered the post of Justice of Appeal of the Eastern Caribbean Court of Appeal.^[7]
