The Freedom House website says:

 

The Congress of the people is the highest decision making body but because they meet every 3 years, in between, the Executive Committee meets weekly or more if needs be and take decision on their behalf.

 

New executive

Donald Ramotar, Dr Roger Luncheon, Zulfikar Mustapha, Gail Teixeira, Alli Baksh, Bharrat Jagdeo, Bheri Ramsaran, Mohammed Irfaan Ali, Navin Chandarpal, Komal Chand, Robert Persaud, Dr Frank Anthony, Clinton Collymore, Pauline Sukhai, and Kellawan Lall.

 

These people own and control the PPP until 2016.

Cobra, the PPP as a party is governed according to the Marxist-Leninist principles of democratic centralism. In 2 previous posts I explained the system in detail. It boils down to this: 8 Executive Committee members in effect rule the PPP and make all crucial decisions. Joey Jagan called them "the Gang of 8."

When Bharrat Jagdeo became President, he quickly realized that the Gang of 8 had previously held a heavy sway over Cabinet appointments.

Jagdeo showed he was a big man by buying off most Exco and CC members with cushy OP and high government jobs. Having done so, he had a free hand to choose his Cabinet while the Gang of 8 became mere rubber stamps.

Donald, as you know, was handpicked and groomed by Jagdeo himself to be President. It's reasonable to assume that the Jagdeo beat goes on in President Donald's cabinet, with some safe variations from the Jagdeo method. The invisible hand from the largest mansion in Pradoville 2 pulls the strings at OP and that Robb Street F-House.
