AAP ticket for Dr Godinho in Nuvem?
CORTALIM: It could be just a matter of few days that AAP could declare Dr Mariano Godinho, a retired medical officer, to be their candidate for Nuvem constituency.
Admitting to The Goan that he was the front runner for the Nuvem seat as candidate for the AAP, Dr Godinho said he had been offered the party ticket but only his personal problems had held him back from taking a decision.
“Now, I have agreed to contest on the AAP ticket for Nuvem seat if the party so wants me to and it's only a matter of a few days before the name is declared by the party,” Godinho told The Goan.
Dr Godinho who enjoys a clean image is very popular given the fact that he was the medical officer of Cortalim primary health centre for about 25 years, which covered areas of Chicalim to Verna including Dabolim and Cortalim. Dr Godinho also held the additional charge of Loutolim primary health centre.
“Yes I had the offer to contest either from Cortalim or Nuvem constituencies. But I chose Nuvem since I hail from that constituency,” Godinho said adding that his name topped the list of candidates at every village dialogue and meetings.
