Step aside, Mr. Jagdeo, and let us hear from Md. Ali

Mar 03, 2019 Letters

Dear Editor,

I would be grateful if you permit this letter to be published in your newspaper.

On the 19th January, 2019, the People’s Progressive Party selected Irfaan Ali as its presidential candidate for the upcoming National and Regional Elections. In my opinion, this selection shows the mental decay and lack of intelligence presently permeating in Robb and Church Streets. However, this is not the reason why I am penning this letter.
After more than one month, Irfaan Ali is yet to hold a press conference. As a voter and someone interested in the development of our country, I want to hear from him. I want to hear his opinion on what is taking place in Guyana today and what his vision is for Guyana. What is his opinion on the constitutional crisis facing Guyana today? Having selected Irfaan Ali, it is only fair that former President Bharrat Jagdeo steps aside. It is not Bharrat Jagdeo who is running for President, it is Irfaan Ali. This is the only way that the electorate can test the suitability, credibility and ability of Irfaan Ali.
The PPP must come to the realization that the selection of Irfaan Ali, which they are trying to throw down the throats of the citizens will not work. People will not blindly vote for Irfaan Ali. Having selected Irfaan Ali, the PPP are starting the race with a liability. At the end of the day, an election is a popularity contest and Irfaan Ali is far more unpopular than Anil Nandalall or Frank Anthony. Therefore, Irfaan Ali has far more work to do.
I therefore call upon Bharrat Jagdeo to step aside, let us hear from Irfaan Ali. It is time Irfaan Ali be made the Leader of the Opposition.

Krishnanandat Arjune.
