Given that fresh general elections will have to be called within the next three months following the passing of a motion of no-confidence against the government, Opposition Leader Bharrat Jagdeo said last evening that the process to select the PPP/C’s presidential candidate may now have to be fast-tracked.
“We probably will have to accelerate this process but I don’t want to speak much about that at this point in time because we have to deal with this situation. It’s unprecedented in our country and both sides have to display maturity in addressing it,” Jagdeo told reporters moments after APNU+AFC MP Charrandass Persaud voted for the opposition motion of no-confidence.
Jagdeo after expressing surprise at the success of the motion filed in his name last month, said that discussions on the party’s presidential candidate will begin on Thursday.
