Ramesh gets a chance
UNC MPs vote to fire Chief Whip, but Bas wants him to explain behaviour
Opposition Leader Basdeo Panday did not give Tabaquite MP Ramesh Lawrence Maharaj the boot as expected yesterday. He, instead, decided to give him one more chance to justify why he should not be fired as United National Congress Chief Whip. Ref. Source 9
So what do you guys think about the UNC's internal elections? Will everyone retain their positions in the UNC or will we see some new faces? I think we will see Jack Warner again for sure.
If Jack Warner gets the boot from the Prime Minister maybe he will also get the boot as being party chairman. If he is who will be the next UNC party chairman?
Local elections will allow the UNC a chance to redeem themselves from what happened in Chaguanas West, if they don't use that to show they're still in the game then we might be looking at the slow end to UNC in government.
The UNC started out strong but they lost a lot of momentum through very bad decisions one after the other. They still have a very strong voting populace but they will loose some seats. I don't know if they will retain enough to form the next government but they have a little more than 2 months to get ready!
I'm surprised that the UNC is allowing the COP to contest some seats. I don't think the COP is going to win anything and that will make the UNC lose even more chances to govern.
