Navin Chandarpal for President

Apr 12, 2010 Letters

Dear Editor,

 

 

Recently, there has been much talk on choosing a successor for President Jagdeo as Head of State of the Republic of Guyana.

This letter serves to highlight the merits and recommend Navin Chandarpal as the most suitable candidate for President within the PPP.

Navin hails from the ‘Ancient County’ (Berbice) and has a distinguished track record in all areas of government within which he served. He is a most disciplined comrade who never sacrifices principles for personal benefit.

I remember well our experiences in the UG/PYO when he stood by his principles which earned him the ire of most of us including the legendary Bill Carr. As a student of Accabre College (the party’s ideological institute) he was a model student and was always on top of the class. When he graduated from the University of Guyana, he made the sacrifice to serve within the PPP instead of accepting other lucrative offers.

He sacrificed his material wellbeing for the sake of the party and earned personal kudos from all, especially Dr. Cheddi Jagan. He was a devoted comrade from his days as a member of the National Student Committee of the PYO, through Executive Member of the PPP. His political path riddled with obstacles and impediments is not an easy one to follow.

At party congresses he is among the top ten elected members of the party. Chandarpal’s devotion to the party is recognised nationally in his position as a Central Committee member and editor of the party’s theoretical bulletin, the THUNDER.

A leader must demonstrate capacity, personality (charisma), and have experience, while simultaneously unwavering to party’s principles. Navin Chandarpal has exceeded all these requirements and has even more to offer.

In actual fact, his contributions were prominent long before Messers. Jagdeo, Ramotar and Robert Persaud came into the service of the PPP. For 28 years he suffered under the ire and wrath of the PNC’s dictatorship. He survived and never gave up. May I add that his wife Indra suffered even more.

Whether he is selected or not, Guyanese history has already recorded the achievements of this intelligent young man and we should give him every opportunity to share his remarkable intelligence and experience as President of Guyana.
