First off, I wish to congratulate Mr. Irfaan Ali on his success at being elected Presidential candidate of the PPP/C. I also wish to commend the unsuccessful candidates for the maturity that they have demonstrated thus far, and their recognition that this is just a small part of a larger struggle to remove this corrupt and incompetent APNU+AFC government.
I am reminded of this quote by Dr. Jagan, “I don’t think I have reached the pinnacle of my life, for the Presidency is only a means to an end, to attain the end is to attain a sane and safe world, to bring an end to exploitation, suffering and misery, to construct a New Global Human Order. The struggle will continue.”
Indeed, the Presidency is only a means to an end; we must now work diligently to remove this regime and bring an end to all the suffering they have inflicted on our people.
I have seen the narrative of Irfaan’s unsuitability, on several grounds, being peddled by detractors. I also saw expressions of disappointment by PPP supporters. I disagree with all and on several grounds.
Of the three frontrunners for the Presidential candidate slot, I can only give my assessment of two, as Frank Anthony withdrew. This in itself disqualifies him from serious consideration. It shows that he lacks the fortitude and fighting spirit required to not only confront the APNU+AFC, but also to lead the country.
It is my view that Irfaan represents the strongest choice. Ali’s age, his experience in government, his experience in a senior managerial role in his party and his grassroots work make him the best candidate out of the contenders.
Once again, I wish to congratulate the party and urge that they all work together in the coming days ahead.
All for your consideration
Arnold Sanasie
