It is the right of the Peoples Progressive Party to name whom ever they wishes for their Prime Ministerial Candidate. It is none of the damn business of the APNU-AFC. Show some bloody respect to the woman.
News for Granger and Nagamoottoo get off your backsides and start talking to the citizens. Thinking the people are dissatisfied does not mean they will vote APNU-AFC.
I disagree with your first paragraph. Given that she will be PM in the 51% probability that the PPP wins, then she will have domain over Guyanese, so it is OUR business to opine on who the PPP selects.
I do agree with your second paragraph. Harper is unknown and will not impact (positively or negatively) the PPP vote so the APNU/AFC need to srat aggressively mobilizing, and registering the bases, and actively campaigning to win support.
The "mistake" that the PPP supposedly made with Harper, might not be any more damaging than the "mistake" that Granger and Nagamootoo made when they hugged (but didn't kiss) after making their wedding vows.
Harper will not deliver any black votes, and will not change the view that the PPP is racist. But then some of Nagamootoo's PPP base who supported him last time, or quite aghast at what he is doing this time.
