The fact that Jagdeo is ineligible for election to the Presidency also makes him ineligible to be appointed Prime Minister.

One can reasonably surmise that the recent noise about making Jagdeo an elected MP and this challenge to the Term Limits Act would seem to lead right to the Office of the Prime Minister.

There used to be a show called "No Big Ting", which eventually became the Link Show.

The notion that the PPP approved a constitutional amendment and now claim that this amendment has me rolling on the ground.  Ramotar is as likable as a toad and so they are terrified that he will make it easy for many disgruntled PPP supporters to just stay home, even more than did last time.

I wonder when the PPP will start telling us that holding the election on May 11 is also illegal.

I would love to be a fly on the wall when the results come in showing massive turn out in PNC areas, and dismal turnout in PPP areas, allowing a PNC 151k vote to beat the PPPs 150k vote.  Janet is going to become a jumbie and enter Gail's body and lash them with licks. 

Burnham's jumble will jump into one of the House of Israel thugs and start laughing at them, and asking whether they think that he Burnham rigged the election.

DG will retire from GNI just as Rev did when the Obama victory humiliated him.  I note he seems scarce now.  Maybe his "data" indicates that a PPP loss is indeed possible.

=================================

The constitution is quite clear that a former President can become, if elected, an MP.

If he is elected a member with the PPP/C in power, former president Bharrat Jagdeo could become one of the Vice-Presidents similar to the composition of the PNC government from 1964 to 1992.

Rev busy trying out dildos for his group here.

Are there any sharp shooters in Guyana? Jus askin.

Yuh mad or whah man?

Did you miss the whole point of this thread the opening post?

Why are you bringing up something that is irrelevant and not even in dispute?

No one doubts he can be MP. No one also doubts he can be appointed Second, Third, Fourth, Fifth, or Sixth Vice President.

My point, dear Senile Pakistani, is that he cannot become Prime Minister at this juncture without a constitutional change affecting the Presidential term limits. Namely its abolition.

Interesting conversations you are having with yourself.

Shaitaain will call you an id 10 t and I will agree.

No sense spending time coming in to agree I'll just say it now...I agree.

F$$king idiot!

Muttering again to yourself.

Like the PPP making up the Constitution as they go along, instead of following the existing one.

Shaitaan, Riffraff told me to tell you that you need to calm down, watch your language and stop harassing posters. 

Thanks...dats right Shaitaan...calm down

Cochore kill Christ 

So you are agreeing that if Jagdoe turnover he can be Prime Minista.

the ppp is desperate,them bais seeing jail time  

The President should have done that before he prorogued the House of Parliament.

He needs on 2/3 majority to do that.

No 1. There is no "House of Parliament." What a very very strange thing to say.

No. 2. While a constitutional change of some articles do necessitate a 2/3 vote, this is not the matter at hand. He is alleging that the proper procedure for altering the constitution in this case vis a vis term limits amendment for the presidency was not followed as a referendum is required to alter the fundamental rights article. It is an interesting and meritorious argument.

Judases everywhere man

From my initial comments, it is clear that former president Bharrat Jagdeo, with non-voting privileges and a non-elected member of parliament, can become a Vice-President, as outlined in the constitution.

he call also become your guru 

Can anybody post a copy of the Constitution where it says that the vice- president does not have to be an elected member of parliament?

PPP General Secretary said Bharat Jagdeo may return to parliament and support the PPP in other capacity, while the former President said he's not interested in a third term as president. This tells me he's is not running for president, but he can hold (MP) position in the house of parliament. We shall see the development as election approaches.

Minor point. There is no such expression as the "House of Parliament" to describe a unicameral body such as the Guyana Parliament.

The term "Houses of Parliament" is appropriate to the UK and Canada where Parliament is bicameral (it has two houses).

Rama just threw in a term he made up to make his opinion sound all smarty pants. And as you can see, he failed.

Aha, as I thought. There is no provision for an unelected member to be vice president. It is the PPP trying to bamboozle the electorate that the vp can be a non-elected mp. Bharat would first have to be elected as an mp. Qualified to be elected is not the same as being non-elected or un-elected.

Correct Cobra.

WOW! I don't know how you two manage to always dazzle us with such profound statements offering such deep insights.

Read carefully ...

Succinctly, "Vice-Presidents can be appointed from non-elected members of parliament".

Of note, there are Ministers who are non-elected members of parliament.

Is he allowed to double dip?

They could be using this to distract from their corruption and poor performances.

Shaitan, D_G is a brilliant man with many years of experience. He also have knowledge on Guyana's politics. You also seem knowledgeable in the political area, but I am not doubting anyone at this time. After election, some of us will be wrong and some will be right about the constitution and (BJ) return to parliament. Stay tune...

D_G is a PNC stall wart who ran cap in hand to the PPP in order to secure privileges for himself and his family in Linden. His so called experience is in failure. But many PPP backers have the same experience in failures. As soon as the current government is replaced, D_G will crawl up a new baxide.

LMAO LMAO

Maybe in his younger less senile years
