Minister of State Joseph Harmon yesterday dismissed the suggestion circulating in the public that President David Granger may not be the APNU+AFC presidential candidate for the upcoming general elections.
“I think we have an excellent candidate in the president,” Harmon said when contacted yesterday.
The `yes’ vote by government MP Charrandas Persaud in favour of an opposition PPP/C no- confidence motion has toppled the government which in accordance with the constitution will have to hold fresh elections in 90 days. The government has already accepted that the motion was successful. However it has since been announced that legal advice is being sought as it relates to the vote. The motion was successfully carried in favour of the opposition 33-32 at the end of the voting process.
