Opposition Leader Bharrat Jagdeo has said that the PPP/C sought to make its selection process for candidates for the upcoming Local Government Elections (LGE) as inclusive as possible to ensure a balance across ethnicity, gender, class and other areas.

Jagdeo was speaking at a press conference on Monday at Freedom House on Robb Street, where candidates from various areas were also present.

He said the press conference was called as a result of the PPP/C’s intention of showing that it does not just preach about transparency and accountability, but also practices it.
