PPP congress set for May

Bharrat Jagdeo

The long overdue PPP congress will be held in the first week of May, the Party’s Executive Committee  members have determined, General Secretary (GS) Bharrat Jagdeo yesterday announced.

“The Party’s Central Committee met; the executives met last Saturday and they decided, I think it is the first week of May that the Congress will be held,” Jagdeo yesterday said when asked by  Stabroek News for an update on the event.

Jagdeo said that his position of General Secretary will also have to be determined by the party’s members as it would “be presumptuous of me to say I will be General Secretary” after the congress.
