PPP intent on targeting Opposition strongholds for LGE – Jagdeo

Targeting traditional strongholds of the People’s National Congress (PNC), General Secretary of the People’s Progressive Party (PPP), Bharrat Jagdeo yesterday appealed to voters to trust their representatives with tackling issues in their respective municipalities and Neighbourhood Democratic Councils.

Jagdeo made the call as he announced that the party is currently finalising its list of representatives for the upcoming local government polls on June 12. He was at the time speaking at a press conference at the party’s headquarters at Freedom House, Robb Street, Georgetown.

“We have never won these areas. We are hoping politically that the people will give us an opportunity in these areas to prove that we can put together a stronger development plan and implement it …” Jagdeo explained.
