Massive show of support for PPP in Linden; APNU says not intimidated

The big political figures from the two sides were direct in their message.

Despite the small showing at the Nomination Day activities, the APNU Coalition, of which the PNC/R is the main of four political parties, maintained confidence that the party will hold on to its political domination in Linden and the other Neighbourhood Democratic Councils in Region 10.
The PPP/C currently has one seat on the Town Council of Linden.
According to Opposition Parliamentarian and Linden resident, Jermain Figueira, the APNU’s list of candidates presents a mix of senior and young, intelligent representatives.
“The noise in the market don’t determine the sale. Linden will remain a bedrock of support for the PNC… that wouldn’t change,” Figueira told the News Room.
He said in the weeks leading up to the June 12 polls, the party will continue its work at the community level but acknowledged that there were lapses in the past which have cost the party some of its support.
“In some areas where there were lapses, we listened to the people and made some changes to the representatives and provided the people with persons who they wanted.
“But we are not intimidated. We will continue to win Linden unanimously,” the Opposition MP said.
Public Works Minister Juan Edghill led the PPP contingent through the streets of Linden.
“The numbers tell the story today and will tell the story on June 12,” Edghill said.
