Dear Editor, The findings of a NACTA poll conducted in late November among UNC supporters show  that if the party were to have a free and fair election for control of the  executive, a slate led by incumbent leader Basdeo Panday would be resoundingly  defeated by a slate led by deputy leader Jack Warner or former deputy Ramesh  Maharaj – together dubbed RamJack who have been challenging Panday to hold  internal election over the last year.
