Political strategists in the Alliance For Change have anticipated major loss of votes in the traditional PPP strongholds of West Berbice and the Courantyne. This has led the party to concentrate more on the Amerindian votes in the hinterland. Struggling to hold to its seats in parliament the party is trying counter the anticipated loss with votes from other parts of the Guyana. Moses Nagamootoo, a former minister in the PPP gov't. has been trying to boost party support in other parts of the country despite his ever-growing pariah status in Berbice. The ruling PPP has re-grouped itself from all the internal fighting over leadership and is now embarked on a mission to unite the party and bring back supporters who have left for other parties or just abstain.
