Mystery surrounds the results of the 29th Congress of the PPP
Dear Editor,
Many analysts continue to ponder over the alarming lowering of the ranking of the Speaker of the National Assembly, Mr. Ralph Ramkarran. I’m sure that no one in the run-up to the PPP congress expected Mr. Ramkarran to be placed outside of the top five.
Low and behold, he was ranked a very disappointing 22nd. Doubts continue to exist over the electoral process since, for many analysts, his lowly 22nd ranking cannot be satisfactorily explained at this time.
Mr. Frederick Kissoon exposed the very glaring conflict of interest of Dr. Frank Anthony being in charge of the credentials committee and at the same time being a contestant for central committee office. Considering that this is Dr. Anthony’s first attempt as a contestant, Mr. Ramkarran ought to feel aggrieved with the electoral process when he looks at the results that show Dr. Anthony coming in at a highly ranked third.
The dailies stated that 913 votes were cast from a list of 1020 delegates. The PPP would have expected close to 1,500 delegates, hence the equivalent amount of ballot sheets would have been printed. The question, therefore, is what became of those unused/extra ballot sheets.
Mr. Kissoon, please dig further; we the public need answers. The dramatic elevation of Dr. Anthony at the seeming expense of Mr. Ramkarran makes no sense.
