So far the only declared candidate is Sports Minister Anil Roberts who launched his campaign on Sunday.
Ramadhar is a founding member of the party and one of COP's deputy political leaders. He is also a very strong supporter of the People's Partnership and was a driving force with political leader Winston Dookeran to form the coalition that won the 2010 general election.
Both Ramadhar and Dookeran are former members of the United National Congress (UNC). Dookeran led the UNC for a while but resigned and formed COP, which contested the 2007 general election.
Ramadhar spoke with the Express newspaper on Tuesday. "There was an expectation that I would be running, let's just say the nomination day is not yet upon us," he told the paper.
The Express quoted Ramadhar as saying he has to deal with certain matters before making a decision and an announcement.

"Rest assured that we have worked with this party since 2007 after which most people thought it would have disappeared and become a memory," he said.
"But we worked and built this party to where it is today and that the leadership of this party is a very important thing and not to be trivialised and therefore I will take my responsibility when it comes," he added.
Nomination Day is June 12.
