Great so we get a has-been to replace a loser to go up against someone who just might actually be able to make a difference.
I wonder what our brilliant populace is going to do.

There is a general perception that his wife is the real legal brain in the RLM family, and judging from his many stupid political moves that is easy to believe.

Actually there is some merit to his wife having the stronger legal mind. My family is in and around the legal circles and this is, and has been the trend of thought for those who know both.

ITs seems to be confirmed. Here's the story form the Guardian.

Panday’s decision
Basdeo Panday has put Ramesh Lawrence Maharaj to fight the Tabaquite seat
Maharaj replaced UNC incumbent Adesh Nanan
Nizam Baksh retained to fight Naparima seat
BY RADHICA SOOKRAJ
FORMER Couva South MP Ramesh Lawrence Maharaj is set to fight the Tabaquite seat on a UNC Alliance ticket in the upcoming general election.
UNC leader Basdeo Panday, who had been seeking a safe seat for Maharaj to contest in the November 5 election, finally settled on the Tabaquite seat for the attorney.
Yesterday, Panday ended speculation that Naparima MP Nizam Baksh had been axed to make way for Maharaj.
In a change of heart, Panday decided to retain Baksh to fight the Naparima seat and has instead put Maharaj in the Tabaquite seat—now held by incumbent Adesh Nanan—to fight against Congress of the People’s (COP) Anand Ramlogan.
Nanan has agreed to drop out of the election race.
Party insiders said Nanan was offered a post as a UNC senator instead.
Panday’s latest decision came as Naparima constituents expressed discontent over plans to remove Baksh in order to make way for Maharaj.
Sources said many volunteers had already dropped out from the election committee in that constituency.
Baksh: I had no problem giving Ramesh my seat
In an interview outside the Barrackpore Asja mosque yesterday, Baksh told reporters he had no problem giving up his seat for Maharaj.
He said Maharaj had contributed to T&T’s development.
Baksh said he had already put his election machinery into high gear in Naparima and had been able to mobilise massive support across the constituency.
He also said he was ready and willing to assist Maharaj with his campaign.
“I don’t want to go down the route that (Kenneth) Valley took,” Baksh said.
“Mr Panday spoke to me and he said that he had three or four possible seats that Mr Maharaj could contest, Naparima being one of them.
“I offered up my seat for Maharaj...I thought it was the gentlemanly thing to do.”
A smiling Baksh said he was willing to sacrifice his safe seat for Maharaj, whom he described as a dynamic force and one who would be able to win any seat that he contested for the UNC Alliance.
“I am sensible enough to make any sacrifice for the party...It was Mr Panday who encouraged me to fight this seat and I will help Maharaj,” he said.
While he spoke to reporters, Baksh said he got a call on his cellphone from Panday, giving him the all clear as a candidate to fight the seat.
NAPARIMA SUPPORTERS DELIGHTED
Several supporters expressed happiness upon hearing the news about Baksh.
Imam Ogeer Mohammed said: “Mr Baksh has done so much for Naparima. Flooding, now, is a thing of the past. We have better roads, a distance learning centre, computer literacy courses.”
He also said Baksh was instrumental in uniting Muslim, Hindu and Christian brothers in the area.
Another supporter Shafiyat Ali said: “We are happy. Mr Baksh is an excellent representative and I will be working with him as a volunteer.”
Candace Samaroo of Lower Barrackpore said the UNC Alliance would have lost votes if Baksh was replaced, as he had earned the respect of the Naparima people.
=================================
I also read that Nanan is throwing his support behind Ramesh. So there appears to be no fallout.

Ramlogan said he could not believe the party would send "their weakest possible candidate" to fight him in Tabaquite. He criticised Maharaj who he said was responsible for causing the UNC to be out of government "and from his hands, the blood and tears of the suffering and pain of the UNC supporters drip".
====================================
What Ramlogan really smoking?
Nanan who has been working for his constitutents and who brought the largest crowd to the rally got a pat in de back from Bas and then a few days later was asked to step down and make way for RLM..
RLM did hang Dole but did he not also defend Abu and he got off??!! :?

And who make Ramesh ah SC? He take it for he self!!! Nobody had the confidence in him to appoint him. Ah suppose dat is why he so beholden to Bas, if he wasn't appointed AG, he would never have been ah SC. When he took SC, there was a joke that SC no longer meant Senior Counsel :lol: :lol: :lol: . Anand has far more success in the Privy Council in his few short years than Ramesh has had in his entire carreer. He could only get story publish in the High Court when he win. Yuh doh hear about it when he lose in the Court of Appeal and the Privy Council.

On a personal note, I am really appreciative to Anand. My grandfather passed away on Wednesday after 97 years on this Earth and Anand showed up last night to the wake. He was telling stories about when the old man used to pass his family's in his tractor on the way to the cane fields and used to bring them back cut cane when he was a boy.
Anand wasn't there as a politician running for office but rather as a mourner. He did not mention anything about his political affiliation when I was around and from what I heard didn't talk about politics unless he was asked a question by the scores of people there.
Thank you Anand for your kind words and condolences, and for also not using this occasion as a political platform.

When Bas take Dooks back after dooks stayed with Robinson and the NAR and tell Bas haul he tail what you was saying, and when Bas give Dooks a safe seat to run in the election what you was saying, and when Dooks sat as governor of the central bank and did not ensure that the hiring polices of that bank changed what were you saying then.
Yes Bas this and Ramesh that but Dooks have no faults or made no errors in his lifetime he like the Pillsbury's dough boy all sweet and cuddly, if it was not for the forming of the COP,Dooks was a dead weight in the parliament a non entity no one can remember one valid thing he ever did or said,he played a role in parliament just like some of the other dead beats on the PNM side.
So go back in the past tell me what contribution to this nation Dooks made and not the nonsense about the coup, what did he ever do in parliament he came took a seat collected his salary and then went home.
oh lawd, when the great Bas annoint Dookeran he was good enough to lead d unc but since he was abused by d cabal and left and joined his own party... he is ah dead weight... he never made any contribution...lalalalalalalal... BS.. if Bas was not so power hungry Dooks wld have stayed and been leader and all yuh sick uncy supporters woulda love him.....a lot of cr** is yuh think abt it :x

Here are the facts (I was there ):
Bas had no choice ,but to bring back Dookeran ,if he wanted to attract the undecided voters .
I was there at Aranguez savannah , when Dookeran was introduced on the UNC platfrom .Dookeran recieved the most applause that day .
Further , prior to the COP ,Bas have not publicly insulted Dookeran.
Unlike RLM , Dookeran is not obsessed with power .Therefore Dookeran will never accept Panday , if only to achieve power .
Victory for the sake of victory is not victory !

SO Jp what the hell he went into politics if he does not want power? Why form you own party if he does not want power you know that argument is lame, you really feel all these people that go into politics don't have political ambitions of their own, some more than others.
All of them dream of being PM or a minister one day that is what they are there for, so they going in there because they want to help people but they do not mind if they lose come on JP you know better than that, all of them are political animals, power hungry also if they were not they would be like you and I sitting on the side lines looking on.
As to wanting to help people if they so wanted to there are so many other organization out there to assist in helping people but they ALL chose politics because they all have ambitions and hunger to be on top.....so forget that BS. :roll:
may be i've not been long in the forum to know what you said, but fact is that UNC supporters accepted Dooks (whatever the reason) to be their leader once Bas gave his 'consent'.... you may not have been one of those in support of that decision but fact is that he was good enough then for Bas..

Ambition is a great thing .
But you do not sell your soul for ambition .
You do not compromise your integrity for ambition .
AS a a former supporter of RLM (and probaly one of his biggest ) I am personally disgusted at his present action .He no longer gets the benefit of the doubt .It is there for everyone to see .
RLM knows that after this election , the UNC will lose and then he will make his bid to grab its leadership as soon as Bas heads out the door , one way or the other .
But Bas smarter than that.Bas will form a new party and start grooming Mikela to take over .
One way or the other , the electorate is going to mature .

There were many that did not agree with that but the decision was made and for the sake of not wanting to cause the same confusion that some of you keep talking about many said nothing. Dooks may be a great guy but it was always thought that he was too soft and could not handle the PNM heavy rollers, PNM financiers or supporters.
I still feel that way, and if he was to win the election and be made PM I still feel he would be incapable of dealing with those hidden forces on the outside of the PNM and trust me the PNM will not go away they will fight from day one to bring down any other government that happens to be placed in power other than them, and they will have the full backing of their supporters with that so if you feel once Dooks get in there it is as simple as that it is not, but support him that is your choice I just feel differently about it.
If something happens to Bas today... there will be a mad fight for leadership...everyone fightin each other and stabbin each other...Jack, RLM, Kamla..

I have come to respect you a whole lot .I want to keep it that way .
I disagree with your argument .
I would say do not knock something before you try it .

The UNC have more than enough problems of thier own .Don't stress you self out further and worry about the COP .At the end of the day , rest assured Dookeran will have no problems handing over leadership when that day comes .
But you will never see Panday do that !
i think he'll be going 6ft under and still grabbing on to be leader...
