| Samuel Hinds |
The ruling Peoples Progressive Party/Civic (PPP/C) has named Samuel Hinds as its prime ministerial candidate for the November 28 polls, his fifth such nomination.
Presidential candidate Donald Ramotar made the announcement Sunday October 16 at a rally in the bauxite mining town of Linden.
“He is a man who has shown tremendous intelligence and a capacity for hard work. He has shown dedication. He has shown that he is ready and he has indicated his desire to continue to work hard on behalf of the people of this country,” Ramotar said.
Hinds, 68, has been prime minister since the PPP/C attained power in 1992 having served Presidents Dr Cheddi Jagan; his widow, Janet Jagan; and outgoing Bharrat Jagdeo.
Ramotar told those gathered that his party, if re-elected, plans to negotiate with the two bauxite companies that operate in the country to expand their production and to develop new products.
He said this will “see greater value added in the bauxite industry.
“We expect that we will succeed in pressing them in this direction and you can expect almost immediately...that we will create over 1,000 new jobs in this region in a very short space of time,” he said.
Days earlier, the main opposition People’s National Congress Reform (PNCR) promised to reform the police force if it wins next month’s general and regional elections.
Member Debra Backer said the police force would be rebranded the Guyana Police Service.
She said a PNCR government would also accept British and Canadian help to improve security within the country.
On Sunday, the Guyana Elections Commission (GECOM) announced that it had started printing the Official List of electors.
It said electronic copies have been given to leader representatives of the two parties.
“Electronic copies of the document were likewise given to the other Parties which were represented in the recently dissolved Parliament. Other Political Parties are being provided with copies of the certified OLE upon request,” GECOM stated.
