Calls for Dookeran to take back COP

Con­gress of the Peo­ple (COP) chair­man Car­olyn Seep­er­sad-Bachan will sup­port for­mer par­ty leader Win­ston Dook­er­an if he de­cides to chal­lenge the par­ty's cur­rent leader Prakash Ra­mad­har.Seep­er­sad-Bachan is not alone. Yes­ter­day, an­oth­er five mem­bers of the COP, in­clud­ing for­mer mem­bers of the par­ty's na­tion­al ex­ec­u­tive, called on Dook­er­an to re­claim the reins of the COP.

The five–Robert May­ers, Patrick Wat­son, Ver­non de Li­ma, Wendy Lee Yuen and Hulsie Bhag­gan–is­sued a me­dia re­lease call­ing for Dook­er­an to par­tic­i­pate in the up­com­ing in­ter­nal elec­tions.The re­lease comes just as cur­rent po­lit­i­cal leader Prakash Ra­mad­har an­nounced his in­ten­tion to re­con­test his po­si­tion."In our view, Mr Dook­er­an's re­turn as po­lit­i­cal leader will al­low the par­ty to re­assert it­self on the po­lit­i­cal land­scape," the en­dorse­ment let­ter stat­ed.

"Mr Dook­er­an has a proven track record of self­less and un­taint­ed lead­er­ship, both pri­or to and fol­low­ing the for­ma­tion of the COP. He is one of the most high­ly re­gard­ed and trust­ed politi­cians of our time," they said.The five se­nior par­ty mem­bers said that should Dook­er­an re­turn, he would have their sup­port. (RS)
