FORMER opposition senator Jayanti Lutchmedial-Ramdial is being tipped by UNC sources to sit as the President of the Senate when the new parliamentary term opens.

The positions of prime minister, opposition leader and president are all currently held by women.

Asked whether she has been approached by Prime Minister Kamla Persad-Bissessar to lead the Senate, Lutchmedial-Ramdial told the Newsday on May 6, “Those matters are all within the purview of the Honourable Prime Minister who will make her decisions on those matters known at the appropriate time.”
