Mark Phillips to return as PPP prime ministerial candidate – GS Jagdeo

Prime Minister Brigadier (retired) Mark Phillips will return as the prime ministerial candidate of the Peoples Progressive Party (PPP) for the upcoming September 1 General and Regional Elections, running alongside President Dr Irfaan Ali.

This was confirmed by the party’s General Secretary Dr Bharrat Jagdeo during a press conference on Thursday.

Jagdeo rejected the false report by the online entity – Credible Source – operated by Opposition Member Sherod Duncan, which reported otherwise.

“He’s really in full panic mode. The psychosis is visible in his behaviour,” Jagdeo said, cautioning that closer to the elections, the opposition will continue to spread baseless rumors.

“Credible Source is the least credible source in the country,” Jagdeo contended.

“Mark Phillips has been a great Prime Minister of this country…and we are proud of him…and he shall be our prime ministerial candidate,” Jagdeo affirmed.

During a previous press conference, Jagdeo had pointed out how Phillips is significantly more qualified than his competitors. In fact, Jagdeo had contended that the leaders within the PPP are more qualified and experienced to run the country when compared with the opposition members.
