Reminder: In 1992 Sam Hinds was a leading member of Guyana United Action for Reform and Democracy [GUARD] when Cheddi Jagan plucked him out and made him his running mate to give the impression of racial balance on the PPP slate. GUARD was not happy when Sam Hinds deserted. Yesu Persaud was also a prominent leader of GUARD but Jagan did not pick him although he was more popular than Hinds. But I cannot say that Hinds accepted Jagan's offer for personal gain.
Regarding Cobra's contention, Jagan did not pick Nagamootoo as his running mate because he wanted a black face for "racial balance."
Jagan would have NEVER picked Nagamootoo for his running mate, under any circumstances.
And rightfully so. The fat pig Moses is swelling up at the expense of the poor with his fat cat salary and extravagant lifestyle.
