After months of delay, members of the Regional Democratic Council (RDC) of Region Eight (Potaro-Siparuni) were sworn-in yesterday and the People’s Progressive Party/Civic (PPP/C) representative Headley Pio secured the chairmanship through the crucial support of the Liberty and Justice Party (LJP).
In turn, LJP candidate Claris Francisco was able to attain the position of Vice Chairman with the support of the PPP/C’s councillors.
The Department of Public Information yesterday reported that subsequent to the councillors being sworn in, the Chairman and Vice Chairman were elected. Both Pio and Francisco are to take their oath of office before President Irfaan Ali. This is expected to be done at a later date.
