PPP/C on track with presidential candidate process – Jagdeo

Even as he walked back a commitment to name a Presidential Candidate by year end a chuckling Bharrat Jagdeo yesterday declared that the People’s Progressive Party/Civic (PPP/C) is not scrambling to identify its leader ahead of the impending General and Regional Elections.

Exactly one week ago Jagdeo indicated that the party had not decided whether it makes sense to name its presidential candidate just before or just after the no-confidence motion but that they would be identified by year end.

However yesterday at his Church Street office he told reporters that he was unsure if members of the party’s Executive will be in any mood to meet again soon after a scheduled meeting on Thursday since we are right in the Christmas season.
