As the Working People’s Alliance (WPA) yesterday called on Guyanese youth to firmly press for their inclusion in government and policy making processes, party sources confirmed that it has recommended that Tabitha Sarabo-Halley replace Dr. Rupert Roopnaraine as a Member of Parliament (MP).

In a move that the party calls “walking the walk,” WPA executives told Sunday Stabroek that the party was leading from the front with its decision to recommend the 30-year-old Sarabo-Halley as its parliamentary voice.

It was Roopnaraine who first floated Sarabo-Halley as his replacement, and the decision was welcomed by the entire executive of the party, since she was its nominee to replace Roopnaraine when he had first offered his resignation in 2015.
