Dear Editor,

I have noted an attempt to comment on my absence from the 7th Regional Democratic Council of Region 10, in articles published in Kaieteur News and wish to share with you that ever since I was elected Regional Chairman in  2006 by the 6th Council of the RDC, I had stated that this would be my last term of office as Chairman.

I therefore did not submit my name as a candidate on the Regional List of Candidates for the APNU, and so could not even be considered to serve as either councillor or chairman on the current 7th RDC.

Yours faithfully,
Mortimer Mingo
