At the party level, there is a scheduled general meeting among members tomorrow. It is there that a decision will be taken on whether the party will move ahead with its selection and the subsequent announcement of its Presidential Candidate before that Friday No-Confidence debate or whether the party will do so after Friday. The leader of the Party, Bharrat Jagdeo said, either way, the party will stick to its planned announcement before year-end.

When the party held its 31st Congress almost 2 years ago, party delegates gave Jagdeo the lead over former Sports Minister, Frank Anthony and Chief Whip Gail Teixeira.
