The top leadership decides the presidential candidate

Dear Editor,

Your Sunday article, concluding on the basis of a poll of one third of PPP MPs that Ralph Ramkarran is the PPP leader having the most support for nomination as the next Presidential Candidate for the PPP is hardly scientific. However, since these MPs are likely to belong to the top leadership of both the PPP and the PNC which decides who is to be its Presidential candidate, then we are likely to be looking at a Ralph Ramkarran candidacy for 2011.

Yours faithfully,

Ron Laljee
