Let’s rally around Donald Ramotar

Jan 11, 2011 Letters

Dear Editor,
Of recent there have been a lot of speculations in the print media about who the PPP/C presidential candidate will be. Several names are coming up, but the question is – whom do we select? Discussions on proposed candidates in the dailies have also stirred much argument over the past.
The PPP/C General Secretary Donald Ramotar, who is the head of the Party and has been holding they Party together despite differences among senior Party comrades. Mr. Ramotar served the Party as General Secretary from 1997 to present.
He has much ideas and experiences in the political, economical and social spheres and is able to enter international negotiations with world leaders.
Mr. Ramotar studied Economics at the University of Guyana and did the world’s Marxist Review in Prague, Czechoslovakia.
During the period 2001 to 2006, when the opposition forces were attacking the Party and government, it was Donald Ramotar, Dr. Roger Luncheon and President Bharrat Jagdeo who stood up and defended the Party and government’s policies, as well as the working class.
Mr. Ramotar who servers on the GuySuCo Board as a director has made significant representation for the sugar workers at all levels over the years and still continues to do so in close collaboration with GAWU.
There have been suggestions that outgoing President, Bharrat Jagdeo is supporting Ramotar. If this is so it is highly commendable and visionary because His Excellency has seen much potential in Mr. Ramotar.
Donald Ramotar has made significant strides and gains in the sugar and rice industry working with the grass root people and this is what matters the most. How many senior Party members, with the exception of Ramotar and Harrry Persaud Nokta have ever gone to Black Bush Polder, Crabwood Creek, Charity, Rupununi Savannahs, Orealla, among other places to meet with grass root supporters and party comrades? Just a few!
Party group meeting across the country are being held monthly and many senior Central Committee members find it very inconvenient to attend out of town group meetings, which would boost support, provide encouragement and motivation.
In the “West on Trial” Dr Jagan made it very clear that it is the foundation that you set down that will take you to victory. We have entered 2011 and elections are due by August and by now all Party members have a clear picture as to where we are heading.
I hope that the Executive Committee and the Central Committee makes the right selection, whether by secret ballot or by the showing of hands and elect Donald Ramotar as the PPP presidential candidate.
Let’s rally around Donald Ramotar for a next PPP victory at the polls.
