IMBERT TO QUIT?
POLITICAL veteran Colm Imbert may back out of the upcoming general election in another instance of the changing of the guards in the PNM.

PENNY VS. STUART WAR LOOMS
PENNELOPE Beckles-Robinson may have lost out on becoming the next Prime Minister, but she is still a challenger for Political Leader of the PNM.

COULD ROWLEY SELL YOUNG TO THE PNM?
A FEW months ago, Professor Selwyn Cudjoe offered stirring advice to Prime Minister Dr. Keith Rowley about his successor.
“The PM must be careful about imposing (Stuart) Young or any member of the moneyed class on the party, when the party’s base consists mostly of Black people,” Cudjoe wrote.
YOUNG A BIG BUSINESS PRIME MINISTER
With his family’s entrepreneurial background and his entrenched commercial interests, Young is likely to become an even greater facilitator of large corporations than Dr. Keith Rowley.
