Opposition Leader Bharrat Jagdeo secured the most votes for the People’s Progressive Party’s (PPP) Central Committee on Sunday, placing him in pole position to contest for the post of General Secretary (GS).
With the PPP having lost power following the 2015 general elections, the three-day congress at Cotton Field, Essequibo was seen as not only vital to repositioning the party to challenge the governing APNU+AFC coalition but also to deciding which of its leaders would steer the campaign.
