I don't think dominance is on the cards for either party with the changing ethnic make-up of Guyana but would suggest the PPP have the upper hand, the stakes are high for 2020 who ever wins could be in power for the rest of our (on the board) lives.
What I do agree with is that the Amerindian community often treated as a nonentity are starting to make there voices heard beyond the handing out of generators come election time, and look forward to seeing what the new party holds but they need to get moving otherwise it well be just another GAP.....Interesting times ahead
That upper hand can only be achieved, if the supporters of the coalition government stayed home come 2020. The tasks are ahead to motivate their supporters to come out and vote,can they achieve such in approx 21 mths,I don't think it's a daunting tasks.
They are canvassing some 250K people which is about where their ceiling is, Their base is around 150K it means they have to focus on about a 100K in 21 months. They will have the list first and they will get more touch time with their own so will know precisely where they are lacking and where they can leech more votes. They already had a good US numbers firm which was able to reach directly down to households. I am sure they can do it.
The PPP had the upper hand the last time with control of the assets of the state and they lost....two times in a row, They will lose again because they are yet to get with the modern targeting tools and think bottom house shouting will do it.
