PPP Congress slated for early May – sources

In anticipation of what will be the largest meeting to date, the PPP/C will bring their 32nd Congress to the capital city, slated for the first week in May, and it will be held at the Arthur Chung Conference Centre (ACCC), party sources say.

Sources told Stabroek News that as per the party’s traditional county rotation schedule, the Congress is set to be held in Demerara this time around. The last Congress, in 2017, was held in Anna Regina, Essequibo, and the one before that, in Corentyne, Berbice.

The last time the Congress was held in Georgetown was back in 1994 and it was under the stewardship of now- deceased President Cheddi Jagan. It was also Jagan’s last congress as he passed away shortly before the next one was held in 1997.
