1997 Trinidad and Tobago presidential election

Indirect presidential elections were held in Trinidad and Tobago on 14 February 1997. It was the first time that there was a contested election for the position, as all previous presidents had been elected unopposed.

The election was held through an electoral college consisting of a joint sitting of the two houses of parliament.

The governing UNC-NAR coalition nominated the Minister of Government A. N. R. Robinson for the position, while the opposition People's National Movement nominated jurist Anthony Lucky.
