The Sun­day Guardian al­so learned that Row­ley brought in for­mer sen­a­tor Fitzger­ald Hinds to con­test the youth of­fi­cer por­tion and that he added three new faces to his po­ten­tial ex­ec­u­tive list:

�2 An­tho­ny Gar­cia has been picked for the ed­u­ca­tion of­fi­cer post

�2 In­dar Paras­ram has been picked for the post of field of­fi­cer

Sen­a­tor Camille Robin­son-Reg­is will con­test the la­dy vice chair po­si­tion, a post which was pre­vi­ous­ly held by Pen­ne­lope Beck­les-Robin­son. Four months ago, amid ru­mours that Beck­les-Robin­son was launch­ing her own bid to be the next leader of the Op­po­si­tion, Row­ley re­moved Beck­les-Robin­son from his Sen­ate line-up and re­placed her with Robin­son-Reg­is.He has since de­nied that her de­ci­sion to fight him for the lead­er­ship post had any­thing to do with his de­ci­sion to axe her sen­a­to­r­i­al post.
