GNI extends condolences to the Former President and his family.
From Demerara Waves
A sister of Guyanaâs Opposition Leader, Bharrat Jagdeo was found dead at their Goedverwagting (Prado Ville 2), East Coast Demerara home.
Jagdeo confirmed that the body of his 57-year old sister, Oma, was found by his niece and nephew in the house. âShe was the one living with me.â
âItâs with deep sadness, I announce the death of my sister Shanta. She was the epitome of a sister, she was a mother, my confidant and friend. She took care of me all my life and I will miss her dearly,â Jagdeo later said in a Facebook post.
He said she was his sibling who had lived with him at State House and at his private residence while he was Head of State and now Opposition Leader.
When he spoke with Demerara Waves Online News at about 3 PM, he said his sisterâs death caused him to cut short meetings at Wakenaam and Leguan.
Her passing comes at time when Jagdeo is spearheading his Peopleâs Progressive Party Civicâs campaign for next Fridayâs Local Government Elections.
The former President could not say immediately whether she died from natural causes or foul play. âI donât know what it is. I doubt it (foul play),â he said.
Police also confirmed the passing of Oma Jagdeo at the former Guyanese leaderâs upscale seaside property

This is a fitting contribution indeed. Probably the song Bharrat would have picked for his sister. A simple and humble aatma has returned to heaven. My hearfelt condolences to the Oppostion Leader, his sisters, and the rest of the Jagdeo family. May God keep them in the palm of his hands during this very difficult time.
My deepest sympathies to the Jagdeo and Persaud families

Opposition Leader extends gratitude for support, sympathy expressed over sisterâs death
March 17, 2016 4:22 pm Category: latest news A+ / A-Following is the full text of a statement issued this afternoon by Opposition Leader Dr Bharrat Jagdeo:
âI would like to extend my gratitude for the thousands of expressions of sympathy â cards, messages, phone calls, and the show of support during the wake that was held â as my family and I come to terms with the loss of my sister, Shanta. The many kind words from persons here and from abroad were of great comfort.
Opposition Leader and former President, Dr Bharrat Jagdeo
We deeply appreciate the words of condolence from the Peopleâs Progressive Party/ Civic (PPP/C), as well as the many dear friends and comrades who have stood with our family during this difficult time.
After completing my sisterâs last rites, her ashes were immersed at the Unity foreshore today. She will be remembered for being someone who touched my life, as well as the lives of many persons around her, in a most profound way.
I also offer my apologies to the people of Wakenaam and Leguan, Region 3, communities in Region 4, as well Lethem and other communities, where meetings were scheduled. I had expected to engage the people of these communities on a number of issues affecting our country and our communities.
Tomorrowâs vote is an important one because the future of our communities is at stake and it is a chance for our people to support and participate in community-based democracy, and to elect the leaders who will work for their communities. I urge all Guyanese to turn out to the polls tomorrow and cast their vote. I am also urging employers to allow their employees the time off to be able to cast their votes. Our vote is a robust tool, which must be used to ensure the people receive the leadership they want.
Again, I express my sincere thanks for the support given over the last few days.â

When do you plan on not messing up even a condolence thread with asinine posts? IDIOT!
Yugi is a sick individual. A man loses his much loved sister through natural causes, and Yugi is quick to blame Guyanese politics for her death. How low can a person sink with his comments?
