Former Chaguanas Mayor Suruj Rambachan has confirmed to the Trinidad Guardian that United National Congress (UNC) leader Basdeo Panday had asked him to be on his team in the party’s January 24, 2010 election.
But he is not sure that there is room on Panday's team because he believes Panday has already completed the selection of candidates who will run with him. He said if that is the case he might consider running for one of the deputy leader posts as an independent.
The paper also said former UNC MP Fuad Khan is thinking about joining the race and offering himself for one of the party's three deputy leaders.
Khan had walked away from the UNC and did not contest the 2007 election. The PNM won the Barataria that he had won on a UNC ticket in previous elections.
Khan reconciled with Panday recently after he and Caroni East MP Tim Gopeesingh accused the government of "ethnic cleansing" at the Port of Spain General hospital.
