Panday ignores Jack's seating plan, moves to the back bench

Opposition Chief Whip Jack Warner on Friday issued the new seating arrangements for the opposition MPs in the House of Representatives, showing former UNC leader Basdeo Panday next to his successor, Kamla Persad-Bissessar.

But reports from Port of Spain say Panday decided not to occupy his front seat and opted to sit in the back.

The official front row seating issued by Warner showed 11 MPs in the front, with four, including Tabaquite MP Ramesh L. Maharaj, in the back. Others in the back are Harry Partap, Nizam Baksh and Winston "Gypsy" Peters, who backed Persad-Bissessar in the leadership race.

Panday said Thursday he won't sit in the front with Warner as Whip and that he would advise the Speaker to make the adjustment.

I don't know what this man is doing, when would he get it, maybe never. Maybe his claim about Warner has merit, I don't know, but I know that Warner was very close to Panday, and why wasn't such issues raised, or rather, was it convienient to not do so?
