People’s Progressive Party/Civic (PPP/C) presidential candidate Irfaan Ali yesterday maintained that he will not be a puppet for former president and current PPP General Secretary Bharrat Jagdeo should his party win office.
The declaration was made yesterday by Ali during a joint press conference with Jagdeo at the office of the Leader of the Opposition on Church Street yesterday.
With the March 2nd, 2020 elections a little more than two months away, Jagdeo continues to be the face of the opposition party through frequent press engagements. Ali has not been as present. Meanwhile, President David Granger, after a multi-year hiatus from regular meetings with independent media outlets, has ramped up press engagements in recent weeks.
