Former PNCR parliamentarian Anthony Vieira, businessman Deodat Indar and attorney Sanjeev Datadin are among the new additions on the People’s Progressive Party (PPP/C) lists of candidates for the March 2nd general elections.

The party’s General Secretary Bharrat Jagdeo is the Representative of the List and led a throng of supporters to present the PPP/C’s lists of candidates to Chief Election Officer Keith Lowenfield at the Umana Yana on Nomination Day yesterday. As has been the case over the past months, Jagdeo overshadowed the PPP/C presidential candidate Irfaan Ali.

Ali is seeking the presidency even as 19 criminal fraud charges hang over his head. He is due to return to court in the coming weeks.
