People Progressive Party (PPP) General Secretary, Bharrat Jagdeo stated that there is an open option for protests, and that it all depends on President David Granger.

The roadway to the President’s Vlissengen Road office was closed off yesterday

He made this statement during a press conference yesterday, at the Office of the Leader of the Opposition.
Jagdeo claimed that the PPP was protesting for President Granger to name a date, and that they will keep the protest action under review, adding, “We want to just have free, fair, early elections, respectful of the constitution”.
He further explained that if Government is moving towards an early election date, then the PPP does not see the necessity for protests. However, he said, “Protest is also a way of showing disagreement with abuse of resources and stuff. But clearly the protest that has personally targeted President Granger since the 18th September was for him to name a date.”
The opposition leader stated, “We will still keep the protest option open if we see any retreat from that or if we have to use it to prevent the abuse of resources that is going on now.”
On September 19, President Granger was challenged with a protest of at least 300 PPP supporters at the Pegasus Hotel, Kingston. The President was at the time delivering an address at a luncheon of the Guyana Manufacturing and Services Association (GSMA) held at the hotel. Later that day, Jagdeo stated at a press conference at his Church Street office that the President would face protests everywhere he goes until he named an election date.
The President did subsequently face protest action during several visits out of town, and during a recent event at the Arthur Chung Conference Centre, where the 70th Anniversary of the founding of the People’s Republic of China was celebrated.
The President, even up to yesterday, faced a small picketing exercise outside of his Vlissengen Road office, from the Mass Action People’s Movement (MAPM).

I don't think Jagdeo should be lending any credence to Granger's pull out of Singh's puss March 2nd date. He should be demanding that Singh explain how she came up with the end of February timeline and what are the details of her work between now and the end of February. He is falling into Satan's pit by offering any legitimacy to Singh and Granger's timeline without ant detail as to how that date was determined.

I agree with you. Jagdeo should have his supporters continue the protests until a DEFINITE DATE has been set and. Proclaimed, and Parliament has been dissolved, after that, it is the elation campaign combined with still reminding the electorate of the unconstitutionality of the regime.

The IMF is advising the Coalition fools that in light of the uncertainty that they have dragged Guyana into, they should refrain from signing the Crude Lifting Agreement with Exxon Mobil. This is significant because that agreement is intended to give Guyana all the necessary information on how much oil is lifted from the Stabroek basin. So all because of the Coalition fools, Guyana is screwed again.

Good news for the sugar workers. The Coalition fools just decided to award compensation to two workers fired back in 1998. The fools concluded with limited evidence that they were indecently fired. Now who can claim more than the sugar workers that they were indecently fired? On top of that the sugar workers had to wait until after the Coalition was defeated by the NCV to get their severance pay.
