…last three years frustrating, but PPP has winning list – President RamotarThe return of former President Bharrat Jagdeo to political life has come as a shocker after the former head of state announced on numerous occasions and swore that he had no interest in being in the forefront of politics in Guyana.His re-entry to the political limelight was however being groomed for weeks when the former head emerged as the face of the People’s Progressive Party (PPP)’s political campaign.? His prominence in the party was however confirmed yesterday when he was highlighted in the PPP’s list of candidates which was submitted to the Guyana Elections Commission (GECOM) on Nomination Day at City Hall.The opposition coalition, A Partnership for National Unity and the Alliance for Change (APNU+AFC) was unaffected by the comeback of Jagdeo who has been established as a major shaker within the PPP, and for some “the real force (behind President Donald Ramotar) controlling the country.”Coalition leader and Presidential Candidate David Granger described Jagdeo’s comeback in unflattering terms.“Bharrat Jagdeo is a liability for the PPP that they will have to deal with. I don’t think the people want to hear from him after years of cronyism, crime and corruption. I don’t think the people want to hear from Jagdeo at all.”When asked to pronounce on Jagdeo’s “misleading” statements that hold the former president to wanting nothing to do with politics, Granger said that, “Mr. Jagdeo is known for saying things not consistent with the truth.”On the issue of the APNU+AFC list, Granger said that a lot of emphasis was placed on experience, competence and balance, because the mess created by the PPP is “a lot to clean up.”The party’s Prime Ministerial candidate, Moses Nagamootoo described the APNU+AFC list as representing all sides of the Guyanese society. “It has proportionality,Cheap Jerseys Online, balance and diversity.”In describing the current political atmosphere, Nagamootoo said that “this is a new beginning; this is the movement of the future.” The Coalition’s turnout yesterday was huge. Supporters descended on City Hall from two directions, unlike the PPP’s supporters who came from the east on Regent Street.The APNU+AFC supporters to City Hall also came from the east on Regent Street; but at least another three contingents came from the south on the western half of Avenue of the Republic. A relatively small wave of youthful followers chanting, “We want change,Cheap Jerseys Wholesale,” led the first contingent of motorbikes and bicycles occupants honking horns and chanting.The second and third waves of supporters came walking and chanting, while others in several vehicles honked their horns, dancing and singing to the party theme song.Nagamootoo explained that this display by the party’s supporters is sending a message “that the time is here for change and that elections would be peaceful with a transition from a corrupt government to one that shows Guyana how we can be honest and work for the people and bring development for all our people.”Nagamootoo said that the situation is such that “we need every one that is honest and has integrity to step forward”. He asserted that he is bringing to the table 53 years of experience in politics and having worked in cabinet, his new role as Prime Minister would offer him the opportunity to serve in a different capacity.The PPP turnout was not comparable to that of the major opposition. President Ramotar stated,Cheap Jerseys From China, however,Cheap Jerseys Free Shipping, that Guyanese can look forward to continued progress under his party and promised to create social and physical infrastructure.
