Candidates shortlisted for PM position – Ramotar

A number of persons have been shortlisted as possible candidates to become the PPP/C’s prime ministerial candidate, the party’s presidential candidate Donald Ramotar recently disclosed.

“We have a group of persons, but I won’t want to comment on that now until we’ve come to a conclusion,” Ramotar said in response to a question during a press briefing on Thursday.  The group, he said, includes members from both the PPP and the party’s civic grouping. Both women and men have been shortlisted, he added.

Names such as Foreign Affairs Minister Carolyn Rodrigues-Birkett, Home Affairs Minister Clement Rohee, Transport Minister Robeson Benn and Public Service Minister Dr Jennifer Westford are
