Jagdeo not interested in third term or elected position – Luncheon

Former President of Guyana Bharrat Jagdeo, who is currently overseas, has asked the People’s Progressive Party Civic (PPP/C) government to clarify that he is not interested in being elected to a third term in office. That request came in response to a  writ which was filed  in the High Court on Monday challenging the two term limit for the Presidency in Guyana.

The Government’s Chief Spokesman, Dr.  Roger Luncheon told a media briefing on Wednesday morning that Mr. Jagdeo has asked to correspond by way of declaration that “he remains committed to not pursuing any further appointment to an elected constitutional office or post in Guyana.”

Luncheon reminded that this has been Jagdeo’s public position since he exited office in 2011, after serving two terms, and says the motion which was filed appears to be a deliberate act to create uncertainty as the country approaches the May 11 general and regional elections.

“He insists that it is a position of principle, consistent with earlier declarations to the public”,  Dr. Luncheon added.
