Irfaan Ali and Bharrat Jagdeo.

Opposition People’s Progressive Party’s (PPP) Irfaan Ali on Friday vowed to remain in the race for the presidency, although the High Court recently ruled that he must face trial for allegedly conspiring to defraud government of a total of GYD$174 million by selling land below their valued prices.

Richard Branson on the 8 rules he swears by to have a successful career and enjoyable life
