PPP banks on Ali

Immediately prior to the election, Dr. Frank Anthony, Dr. Vindhya Persaud and Gail Teixeira withdrew from the contest, leaving Nandlall and Ali as the two contestants. Ali received 24 votes and Nandlall received 11 from the 35-member Central Committee, making Ali the presidential candidate.

AS the fallout continues over the selection of Irfaan Ali as the People’s Progressive Party (PPP) Presidential Candidate, one of the granddaughters of that party’s founder, the late Dr Cheddi Jagan, has railed against what she described as the power-hungry manipulation going on at Freedom House.

In a Facebook post Mrs Vrinda S Jagan said: “I’ll keep it 100% real, whether you like it or not, I am utterly shocked, disappointed and heartbroken by the choices of the current PPP. If Mr. Ali is the best y’all got, and y’all are going to be so blatantly obvious then good luck.”
The young Jagan said “I personally had no preference but I never even considered that the PPP would have “chosen Ali.”

She said for those that keep asking “me to go home and join in, I can only speak for myself; Cheddi and Janet Jagan had only five grandchildren, and in my opinion there is no place for me in a Jagdeo run PPP. I personally could not be involved in the blatant power-hungry manipulation.

I believe that the PPP should allow their supporters to choose who they want to represent them, why permit these people to continue controlling,” she said. She however noted that she has never given up on the PPP “in my heart and in my bones, I just want and yearn for better for their supporters, for the young people, and for Guyana. Every time I go home, I stop in at Freedom House. I see his face covering the walls and my heart sinks because our people deserve better.”

“I have seen him as a young comrade coming into this party. When you look at the A Partnership for National Unity (APNU) Granger group, they are all in their 80’s. We want the young people. We encourage them, we push them. I know this young man, I know he is going to deliver as President,” Teixeira said to cheers from PPP/C supporters.
