The PPP now needs to refocus as Jagdeo himself has now acquiesce to Feb 2020. It has been an utter failure! What are the protest about now? The time for that has passed. The international community reacted strongly on the deadline. Sounds hallow! What do they do now? Nothing....day late and a dollar short! This warning should have been issued three months ago with action on Sep 19!
Jagdeo and the PPP needs to focus on ensuring the list is not bastardized with illegals and all the shenanigans the push the PNC vote count up!
Sound observation. That is the power of wrong and strong as well as mo fiah slo fiah. Unfortunately when people employ such behavior, everyone suffers. Including those same bullies and violent people. The PPP should use this opportunity to reset their strategy beginning with the prompt replacement of their presidential candidate. There is a whole lot more wrong with Ali as PPP presidential candidate than his fake certificates.
Replacing Ali will not happen...as long as Jagdeo is running the show.
Besides, its not like the other candidates are more popular and less shady to overcome the weaknesses of the Ali candidacy.
AND...not that it matters now because people will vote racially for the two main parties.
If everyone votes race and there are no shenanigans, PPP and Guyana win.
Thatβs a cop out. Everyone votes race, true. However, there is still space for sound strategy and the winner will be decided on the margin and this is race neutral!
The race holds and secure the base! This does not win the elections. Jagdeo has a βbaseβ strategy, he does not have a winning strategy!
PPP will only win back the lost votes that went to the AFC.
He and his party does not have a winning strategy.
AND, he knows he can rally the base.
PPP will be out for another 28 years...
