The opposition People’s Progressive Party (PPP) is calling on President David Granger to set a date for elections immediately and yesterday said its members are prepared to continue protesting until a date is named even as it has again ruled out returning to parliament to extend the life of the government.
The pronouncements were made at a press conference where PPP officials said that immediately following the timeline put forward by the Guyana Elections Commission (GECOM), Granger should have announced a date for the elections. GECOM Chair Claudette Singh on Thursday informed Granger that the commission would be ready to conduct elections by the end of February 2020.
The PPP officials who presented at yesterday’s press conference were Gail Teixeira, Juan Edghill, Joe Hamilton, Peter Ramsaroop and Nigel Dharamlall.
