In a crushing blow to the status quo, Kamla ousted Basdeo Panday as the Political leader of the UNC (United National Congres).
She now becomes the first female leader of a major political party in the Nation's history.

The Silver Fox of course, is not likely to go quietly and give up his other post, Leader of the Opposition. In fact, he said as much tonight, saying, "If you like democracy, you must like it all the way".

In effect, he is challenging Mrs Persad-Bissessar to prove she has the support of at least 7 MP's in Parliament, excluding herself.
It appears she has the immediate support of 4 members, Harry Partap, Winston Peters, Jack Warner, and possibly, Ramesh Lawrence Maharaj.

Earlier this week, Mr Peters more than suggested there were others. My guess would be Nazim Baksh, Roodilal Moonilal and Hamza Rafeeq.

Whatever happens, politics in Trinidad and Tobago will never be the same.
