The People’s Progressive Party (PPP) today said that it will tomorrow present 70 lists to contest local government elections in 550 constituencies and nine municipalities.
A release from the PPP said that the Party will be contesting the Local Government Elections as the PPP/C with the Cup as its symbol.
It said that it has also struck a 50-50 balance between PPP and Civic candidates. It will not be contesting in Mocha/Arcadia, East Bank Demerara where it said that following the promotion of a divisive campaign it is unable to field a candidate.
The PPP/C said it is confident that resulting from this hard work, the PPP/C will emerge “winning the majority of Constituencies and Municipalities at the March 18 Local Government Elections.”
The PPP/C said its decision to contest these elections is premised on the confidence and optimism the Party has in the electorate’s ability to make the right choices.
