Vice President, Bharrat Jagdeo and Opposition Leader, Aubrey Norton were engaged in a heated discussion last night at a Europe Day reception which was hosted by the European Union at Georgetown Club, Camp Street.

Among the issues ventilated were the 2020 General and Regional elections, the controversial Statements of Poll and corruption.

Norton challenged Jagdeo to  a public debate. Jagdeo agreed to the debate on the condition that Norton present the APNU+AFC’s Statements of Poll (SOPs).
