THE Evergreen/Paradise Neighbourhood Democratic Council (NDC) on Essequibo Coast has a new Chairman. The Regional Administration of Region 2 (Pomeroon/Supenaam) said Mr. Ramnauth was elected by members of the NDC at its statutory meeting on Tuesday.
Ramnauth has replaced Mr. Cornel Damon who is now a Member of Parliament (MP) representing Region 2 in the National Assembly.
Ramnauth, who lives at Better Success on Essequibo Coast, has served the NDC as a councillor for several years and also as chairman of the Works Committee.
Several public servants were sworn in recently as councillors to fill vacant Council seats.
Minister within the Ministry of Local Government and Regional Development, Mr. Norman Whittaker, in whose presence the new councillors were sworn, said it was done because of the depletion in the number of members who were elected at the last local government elections in 1994.
