I wish to respond to the letter published in the SN dated October 9 under the caption ‘PNCR should allow free, and transparent system for selecting its presidential candidate.’
Dear Editor,
In a news item in the KN captioned ‘PPP to use old model being to select presidential candidate’ dated September 23, 2010, extracted from a press release issued by the PPP General Secretary it was stated, “The process that was used in the selection of previous Presidents, Dr Cheddi Jagan, Mrs Janet Jagan and the current President Bharrat Jagdeo, will be used to select the People’s Progressive Party (PPP) Presidential Candidate for the next General Elections.”
Dear Editor,
