Jagdeo mistakenly listed as President on PPP list, Ramotar as politician

The list of candidates for the May 11 general elections published in the newspapers today has former President Bharrat Jagdeo’s occupation as “President” while President Donald Ramotar’s occupation has been listed as “politician”.

Furthermore, Jagdeo is listed as living at State House 52-53 Main Street, the same address for Ramotar and his son Alexei.

The erroneous information will likely set tongues wagging as Jagdeo has oft been accused as being the power behind Ramotar’s throne. It is unclear why such a clear error was not picked up by the PPP/C or the Guyana Elections Commission.
