Should they be chosen as the PPP’s presidential candidate and win office, contenders for the post Anil Nandlall and Irfaan Ali say that former president Bharrat Jagdeo will play a major role in their administration.
Nandlall and Ali are among five who have indicated their interest in vying to be the PPP’s presidential candidate for the next general elections. The others are Dr Frank Anthony, Opposition Chief Whip Gail Teixeira, and attorney at law Charles Ramson Jnr.
“I consider him to be a national asset and he has a most pivotal role to play and contribution to make,” Nandlall, a former Attorney General under the PPP government, told Stabroek News of Jagdeo.
