The PPP today said that party stalwart Gail Teixeira is also in the running to be the party’s presidential candidate this year.
A release from Freedom House said “The People’s Progressive Party has been advancing its discussion on the issue of choosing a Presidential Candidate for the 2011 General and Regional Elections.
“At the last meeting of the Executive Committee five persons were identified as having expressed interest or were nominated. These are Moses Nagamootoo, Ralph Ramkarran, Clemet Rohee, Gail Teixeira and Donald Ramotar.
“These discussions are expected to be intensified with a view of coming to a conclusion where the candidate would be selected as soon as possible.” Teixeira’s name was the only new one on the list as the other four candidates have already declared their interest.
