?Leader of Gov­ern­ment Busi­ness Colmn Im­bert said he was un­cer­tain what would take place on the Op­po­si­tion bench when the House of Rep­re­sen­ta­tives meets on Fri­day.

Im­bert was re­spond­ing to ques­tions by re­porters over the pos­si­ble fu­ture of de­feat­ed UNC Leader Bas­deo Pan­day. Pan­day was de­feat­ed by Kam­la Per­sad-Bisses­sar in the UNC's in­ter­nal elec­tions on Sun­day. Im­bert said all he knew was what was re­port­ed in the press. He was speak­ing at the of­fi­cial open­ing of the San­gre Grande Pas­sen­ger Fa­cil­i­ty yes­ter­day.

Im­bert said: "All I know is what I read in the news­pa­pers that Mr Pan­day is not will­ing to step down as Leader of the Op­po­si­tion un­til there are a suf­fi­cient num­bers of (UNC) MPs that would like him to do so. He added: "Hon­est­ly, I don't know (what would hap­pen in Par­lia­ment). "But I mean, that is their busi­ness and I can't tell you (what is go­ing to hap­pen). You would have to fig­ure that out your­self." AS
