OPPOSITION Leader Kamla Persad-Bissessar is advising the Prime Minister that the way in which he is attempting to anoint his successor Stuart Young is outside of the supreme law and the Constitution.

She said Rowley has two options, one being to dissolve the Parliament and call the elections within three months and let the President appoint Young as desired, or where there is no undisputed leader, the President can then consult with PNM ministers and make an appointment.

If Rowley, however, goes ahead with his plan to resign on March 16 as Prime Minister, but maintain his position as PNM political leader, she said he would have to face the ‘brilliant UNC’ lawyers in court, as that would a breach of the Constitution.
