PPP Central Committee selecting Leadership smacks of cronyism

Dec 25, 2017 Letters

Dear Editor,
The current method that the PPP uses in selecting leadership must be changed from the current manner, whereby the 35 members of the Central Committee agree on leadership to the more democratic way of all members electing leaders.
The current method used is self-serving to those on the Central Committee. It is too undemocratic.
To explain to Guyanese how the PPP selects it leaders, I would like Guyanese to ask themselves if they are happy with just 35 people selecting who should be President of Guyana? Or, would Guyanese prefer for everyone of voting age to have a say/vote in who becomes President?
Of course every Guyanese would like a say in choosing their Leaders. This is the way that it should be. Only 35 people to select the PPP Leaders (hence, Presidential Candidate), in flawed and smacks of cronyism’ the system needs to be more open and democratic.
But, I do understand that those members on the Central Committee would prefer to protect their turf as oppose to making the PPP more democratic for future generations.
