In the face of increasing calls for him to name a date for general elections, President Donald Ramotar last evening said that he has not yet decided when he will make the announcement.
“I haven’t decided as yet but not this weekend but soon, soon,” Ramotar told Stabroek News when asked about a date for his announcement.
Last December, Ramotar cited his desire not to “disrupt” the Christmas season for Guyanese as well as his itinerary for his decision not to name a date. “Because of some of my own itinerary I don’t want to tie myself down to a date but the earliest option, the earliest time, I will be ready to do that,” he told reporters.
Christmas has passed and the President has returned from a state visit to India.
Ramotar had also said that early in the New Year, he intends to announce further steps
