The party criticized the campaign and its latest twist where television advertisements are appearing to drum up support for the President to contest the next elections, in addition to a billboard being erected in the city.
“This is at a time when President Jagdeo has stated, repeatedly, that he was not interested in a third term…
“Clearly, whoever are involved have an agenda.
“At this point we can only assume that this is being done to cause confusion and distrust in our country, particularly among PPP supporters. “The PPP denounces this campaign!” the party statement said.
Last month the PPP released a statement saying that it viewed the campaign to remove the term limit for the President to be mischievous and designed to create confusion and division among the people.
The party also noted the comments of party executive Reepu Daman Persaud at the Diwali celebrations this year in relation to the same subject but stressed that “he was not mandated to speak on behalf of the party on this issue and he was not doing so.”
Meanwhile, a group calling itself the Guyanese Coalition For Jagdeo Third Term (GCFJTT) has been campaigning for a third term for President Jagdeo by distributing flyers and buttons amid growing public concerns that a move may be afoot to amend the constitution to remove term limits.
