PPP to begin selection of presidential candidate on Thursday

Gail Teixeira

The People’s Progressive Party will next Thursday begin the process to select its Presidential Candidate to contest the 2020 general elections and Executive Committee member Gail Teixeira is most likely to throw her hat into the ring.

Asked yesterday if she will be contesting, Teixeira said, “Most likely.” She had earlier in the year given a similar intimation.

Teixeira told Stabroek News  that the party took the decision yesterday at its executive meeting held at Freedom House, Robb Street, Lacytown, to begin the process of selecting the Presidential Candidate next Thursday when the Executive Committee will meet again.
