Over 50 % of PPP/C list represent non-party members

As Local Govt Elections looms…

In preparation for the much anticipated Local Government Elections (LGE), the People’s Progressive Party/Civic (PPP/C) Opposition has assigned more than 50 per cent of its List Representatives as non-party members, including common individuals of communities with recognised skills and who already enjoys the confidence of residents.

Who in the world is the PPP lying to? This is the Party that has not done anything in its entire history that was not via its reach for ideological and ethnic based fanatics in the community. Alas, that means many Indians given the Party has pursued a rigid racist appeal to secure loyalthy. It has no record to run on since the overwhelming legacy of corruption spanning 2 decades obviates that. Its only reach now is into its usual racial bag. Unfortunately for them that bag is now not as deep and if they continue with business as usual t hey have a long time in the dog house.

That they now rest their mobilization strategy to retake office is a laugh. They would not do it in 23 years and instead implanted hand pick part ideologues in IMCs all over the country in hope of retaining office. That with all the patronage and bribing of Amerindians did not permit them to win when they had all of the power of the state at their back. Why would they win where they now really have to but their back to the work and gather up funds from their own pockets? Get real.

The PPP  is a multi_racial party.  If you want an Indian party find another one.

Forty nine percent of the PPP electoral list in the last two Governments  were made up of non Indians.

Change is occurring all the time. The PPP decision to participate in LGE is a good one. Furthermore, it seems to me that including non-PPP members in its list indicates it is trying to be inclusive and drawing on the capacity within the communities to improve the communities. 

Regarding whether they will succeed, time will either prove you correct or wrong. Many on this board had predicted a massive loss by the PPP at the last general elections and were surprised how narrow the loss was. 

AFC will be exterminated al Local Elections. They have to hang on to Granger's coat tail to survive.

Saying so does not make it so. I guess that percentage your reference was their offsprings and other close family.

Change is inevitable. I noted they do not have as deep a racial bag to plumb for votes.

They did not try hare enough for diversity and devolution or they would be formulating strategies or writing white papers on how to achieve that. It cannot be done with the present constitution.

Everyone to a man said they will lose within a percentage point. Only the   idiots like the Rev and Ugli and the Demented one and the Simetoo Moon man were speculating on massive wins. I think the record is on the board.

What a difference one year brings!

Last year President Ramotar refused to assent Local Government Amendment Act and ignored popular calls for local government elections. Had he complied, there would not have been pressure to prorogue parliament and call general elections. I dare say, too, the APNU+AFC coalition would not have materialized.

And, whether the PPP had won or lost local government elections, Mr Ramotar would still have been President today.

Anyway, the PPP is approaching upcoming LGE with optimism and confidence and has already prepared its list representatives.

My coalition government is lagging. Leh we speed up, Bulkan.

Listen Buck D2, the election was rigged. PNC refused a recount !

You can be as ignorant and racist as you want and presume the elections were rigged but you only make an ass of yourself.  Of course a black man cannot win fairly! What an ass...the 40sops the PPP wanted counted and claimed dubious if recounted could not give them the margin to win. Each district averages 256 votes. They were not even predominantly PPP districts! The APNU did not stop the count. THE GEC did so within their authority. The PPP had a chance to contest that decision by going to court. The PNC did it once and handed Janet a truncated term. They could have gone to court.

You should know more about the PPP, don't guess.  That's you frigging Problem.  You are stupid to think.

The PNC is now scared of LGE for the same reasons the PPP were, the dilution of power.

How can it dilute power when the local authorities have no authority to spend monies not dispersed for officially approved projects.

This educated buckman is more stupid than the average buckman in the reservation. This stupid buckman does not have any first hand information on Guyana. He depends on third hand and third rate news to spill his blige and his "billiousness" here. Someone needs to drag him by his nuts and show him what Guyana is like today. 

Please name the heads of state owned commissions, corporations, and committees under the PPP.

I asked this question before, and you couldn't answer.  We now know that almost all were Indians, because the coalition gov't has dismissed most of the heads.

You all like blacks to be stupid, dumb and quiet.  So of course your "list" will have them.  Clearly not in any role where they can have any influence though.

In fact the Indo KKK is still in a nightmare.  They used to scream that blacks will never rule Guyana again.

How foolish do they look now!

Of course it takes a dalit to presume using "stupidity" and "buckmen" accrues to good sense. Presuming you know me and what I do is the first of your ignorant conclusions.
