Apr 08, 2015 News

– Guysuco boss, Urling, President’s son, Clive Jagan in for PPP
– Vanessa Kissoon out; Simona Broomes, Jean La Rose in for APNU+AFC

Seven parties are set to contest in the General and Regional Elections come May 11.
The disclosures were made following the official handing over of the List of Candidates during the designated Nomination Day yesterday held at City Hall.
Among the parties contesting are People’s Progressive Party/Civic (PPP/C), A Partnership for National Unity and Alliance For Change (APNU + AFC), Independent Party, Organisation for the Victory of the People Party (OVPP), The United Force (TUF), United Republican Party (URP) and Healing the Nation Theocracy Party.
From the released lists of the ruling People’s Progressive Party/Civic (PPP/C), it was clear that a number of surprises have been thrown up, particularly in the 93-strong national top up list.
In addition to return of former President Bharrat Jagdeo, who suddenly backtracked from a recent position that he will not be a candidate, Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of the troubled Guyana Sugar Corporation, Dr. Rajendra Singh, is one that caught the eye, along with businessmen Clinton Urling and Peter Ramsaroop, former AFC executive Sixtus Edwards and former APNU parliamentarian Africo Selman.
Also on the list is Mahender Sharma. He is the Chief Executive Officer of the regulatory Guyana Energy Agency and son of television station owner, CN Sharma.
Badrie Persaud, Managing Director of the Guyana Oil Company, is also there.
Prime Minister Sam Hinds, who was widely expected to retire after the PPP/C chose Director General of the Foreign Affairs Ministry, Elisabeth Harper to be the Prime Ministerial candidate, is on the list too.
Strikingly, close relatives of Government official are also featuring.
Leading them are Alexei Ramotar, son of President Donald Ramotar. Also there is Rima Rohee, daughter of Home Affairs Minister, Clement Rohee.
So too are former Minister, Indranie Chandarpal, and her engineer son, Rabindranauth.
Vanessa Benn, the wife of Public Works Minister, Robeson Benn, has joined him on the list.
Dental surgeon Clive Jagan is the only one from his family that has opted to be a candidate. In recent weeks, the Jagans have been at odds with the PPP after a quarrel over statements made by Jagdeo.
Minister of Housing, Irfaan Ali, is not on the National Top Up list, but is included on the Geographic List for Region Three.
One name that has not appeared is Human Services Minister, Jennifer Webster. Old stalwart, Harripersaud Nokta, is also not there.
Meanwhile, in the national top up list for A Partnership For National Unity/Alliance For Change (APNU+AFC), prominently missing was Vanessa Kissoon, one of the main faces for APNU from Linden.
Businessman, Wilfred Rambarran, who has interests in mining, broadcasting and poultry farming, has appeared on the lists. He joins Professor Harold Lutchman, a former Vice Chancellor of the University of Guyana. Attorneys-at-law Joel Edmund and Nigel Hughes are also included, along with latter’s wife, Catherine Hughes. Simona Broomes, a woman’s rights advocate and miner, would also be another name that has joined the coalition’s list, in addition to Amerindian rights activist Jean La Rose.
