Jagdeo: PPP racing ahead with poll preparations

The PPP has started preparations for general and regional elections and its list of candidates will be ready for Nomination Day which should be in the first two weeks in February, according to the party’s General Secretary Bharrat Jagdeo.

“We are already starting to discuss, not only the presidential candidate – from tomorrow (today) we would have presentations from the five. We have already started to work on candidates at the regional level for the geographic list and the national top up list,” Jagdeo said at a press conference at his Queenstown office yesterday. He was asked if the party will be ready for elections.

The five candidates vying for the PPP’s presidential candidate slot are Irfaan Ali, Dr Frank Anthony, Anil Nandlall, Dr Vindhya Persaud and Gail Teixeira.
