PPP/C ready for local and general elections, says General Secretary

THE Central Committee of the People’s Progressive Party/Civic (PPP/C) held its third meeting since the convening of the party’s 30th congress in August this year at the Albion Training Centre in Region Six (East Berbice/Corentyne).And General Secretary Clement Rohee informed the media at a press briefing yesterday at Freedom House that the party is ready for the local government elections, as well as regional and national elections.

He said: “The Central Committee examined various aspects of the implementation of its political strategy and concluded that it was sufficiently in a state of readiness for either local government and national and regional elections.”

“Well Oiled” Machinery
Rohee explained that the PPP/C from an “organisational perspective” has always been ready for the eventuality of elections, with “well oiled” machinery.
“We don’t spring into life only when elections are in the air. We are always on the ground,” he declared.
Rohee added that the party has the reputation of being the “best organised” when elections roll around and it intends on maintaining this status.
