I believe if you good for the job you get it. Not because of what between your legs or what race you are) they may go for Jerlean John or Baptise-Primus. I think Manning to young in the game to be PM. He ain't even make a year in parliament yet.

They have two very good contenders, Stuart Young and Brian Manning.
Young, despite my criticism of him, is quite smart and would make a good leader. Brian is a fairly bright guy as well, but I do not think Rowley and his backers will like him taking control.
These are the scenarios I foresee for 2025:
Stuart vs Kamla - PMN win
Brian vs Kamla - PNM win
Stuart vs Vasant - UNC win but tight race as they both appeal to the swing undecided voters
Brian vs Vasant - UNC win
unknown PNM vs unknown UNC - ??? perhaps UNC, once Kamla or someone in her cabal is not leader UNC will most likely win

Keep in mind race still plays a big part. Although progressive, putting a non-black leader over a "black party" will cause tension especially among the grassroots. There are many pnmites who don't like Stuart because he came into the party "juss so" and "just d other day" while a lot of grassroots who in the party for decades and capable afro candidates who won their seats got side stepped. Loyalty (blind?) and race is what kept the party together. Stuart, Imbert, etc knows that there are many pnmites who don't like them but will vote for party above all else.
UNC is more capable of putting a non-indo at the helm and pulling it off. Jack Warner could have been the next political leader of the UNC if he didn't fall from grace with the FIFA bobol. Winning Chaguanas West for the UNC in 2010 and ILP in 2013 proves this. Problem is that the UNC is not a national party - absent in Tobago, no real footing in POS South, Laventille East-Morvart and Laventille West. I would like Jearlean John to be political leader and Vasant as deputy. If Mikaela comes back, better yet but she would not once Kamla is around. The Hindu dominance, although still a force in the party has lessened over the decades.
Vasant and Mariano are smart and would like them to be leaders of their respective parties but they don't have that grassroots connection (too smart). Vasant has a higher chance of being political leader if Kamla does not go up for re-election. Vasant, Devant and even Mikaela knows the grassroots will put back Kamla and they would only have a chance if she walks away. UNC is suffering the same problem now as in 2007. Back then the party couldn't see beyond Panday, now they can't see beyond Kamla.
Brian is gunning for leadership obviously but he's picking his spots. He doesn't like Rowley but he knows Rowley is leaving in 2025 (or sooner is something happens like a snap election).

nah. Lewwe BE REAl. BE REAL. Nobody wants a "knife and fork" to be leader. The meaning of 'knife and fork' is to describe persons being inauthentic, fake, out of touch. All of those words describe Vasant. He will get thrown out unceremoniously on December 7. That I can guarantee.
Devant or Kamla will win. Two horse race.

Did you happen to hear it? That "interview", while it did raise some good points on the budget, came of as the definition of inauthentic, fake and out of touch.
Vasant is trying a thing, poorly. In his mind he is a savior, in reality he taking a shot at the King and going to miss. After this election, nobody going to want him.

Vasant has the cache to bring new qualified blood....bring a slate that is centrist and progressive,
Whats the point of bringing a 'deep yellow' crew that appears extreme UNC and then would have a tough time in a general election.
If they want to win the GE they need to be palatable to the swing and the light reds.
Cant do that if they push a hardcore tillah ded crew.
Modern mixed youngish but experienced in professional pursuits.
enough with career politicians
