Ramotar tops PPP Central Committee vote

-Jagdeo in second spot

President Donald Ramotar came out slightly ahead of former President Bharrat Jagdeo in voting yesterday for a new 35-member Central Committee of the People’s Progressive Part y.

Though internal voting in the PPP has been long been questioned, it appears that Jagdeo remains a popular figure with candidates.

The results obtained today by Stabroek News also showed good numbers for Frank Anthony, the Minister of Culture  who has come up through the party ranks and Anil Nandlall, the legal affairs minister who is a relative newcomer to PPP politics. They polled well ahead of Minister of Natural Resources Robert Persaud. Anthony was third in the vote count.
