Prelude to 2001
Left: "Wuk pon she! Wuk pon she!" as chanted by those who created this 1997 effigy (photo, voodoo doll) of Janet Jagan, tossing it into the air as a pseudo-voodoo ceremony is conducted outside the High Court, with one wish: that the court rejects Janet Jagan/PPP as the legitimate winner of the 1997 general elections. Right, the 2000 PNC Congress; Desmond Hoyte, the Party Leader arrives. This is the final Congress before the 2001 general elections is contested.
