The PPP presidential candidate should be one who embodies the future
Dear Editor,
The verdict is out of the PNC’s camp. It has put up a candidate that represents the past. The ball is now in the PPP’s court: will it also offer a candidate that represents the past or one that embodies the future.
From the choices available in the PPP, all of these individuals are in their 60s, around David Granger’s age and from his own political era. But this is not only a matter of age; it is about having a candidate that represents a Guyana of this century and not personalities who were schooled in a different time, a bygone era.
If the PPP is to maintain its position as the party in Government, its leaders must not squander the opportunity to present a candidate that represents the future that all Guyanese would be comfortable in leading them.
Please let us not live in the past. Experience is good. Based on what I have seen, none of the candidates has demonstrated a keen awareness of the future. Certainly, the PPP must not do what the PNC did and opt for a figure that represents the 60s and things that have defined us as a backward country.
