If the two opposition parties cannot agree on something major as joining forces to defeat the PPP, then how can they begin to lead Guyana successfully?

Its inconceivable to think the A.F.C/A.P.N.U "secret talks" would bear fruit.

Discussions between the PNCR and AFC are their personal issues.

The fundamental focus relates to the identification of the political organizations at the registration time to contest the elections.

Such profundity! How do you do it bai?

How is it that you were able to discern this totally new and incredible piece of information that did not occur to anyone here?

Imagine that bai....parties will register at registration time and GECOM will tell us who registered.

Next thing I suspect you'll be telling us how they take the names of these "parties" and print them on "paper" and hand them out to the enrolled population of "Guyanese" citizens over the age of 18 with a box printed conveniently close by for them to place a certain mark therein.

And this this will go down on a certain day appointed especially for this exercise of nation-wide paper marking.

Leave him alone. He soiled himself last night in his nursing him, and this morning his nurses screamed at him again.  They are tired of having to put in those suits every time they have to come near his bed.  You know the ones that health providers wear to treat Ebola patients.

The goons with a soft spot for A.P.N.U desperately tries to derail the thread,its a fact A.P.N.U is the same old P.N.C

My parents, grandparents, great-grandparents etc. were not people of great educational qualifications and distinctions. They all graduated high school. That's it. However, none of them said or would say (those are still alive) some of the remarkably stupid things things I read here daily on this Board.

When asked about why as the Port Mourant Imam, he supported Jagan in 1964 over the Muslim Party, my great-grandfather simply said "I knew his father." He didn't pretend to have some great policy or philosophical reasons for his choice. He was biased based on something personal and said as much. Even my grandfather said "we voted for Cheddi in 1953 because he was Indian and he made us feel proud about being Indian. We had finally arrived in Guiana."

My head hurts that people are today are truly stupid and then try to dress up their stupid reasons under grand concepts like "democracy" and "rule of law." It's why I appear harsh towards the Gold Teet Brigade. They also seem proud of their stupidity. People should never be both stupid and proud. My antecedents shared my belief in the perfect acceptability of saying "I don't know" or just being quiet when you really have nothing sensible to add, or being honest in explaining their position.

Today's apaan jhaatists will claim "democracy" and shout all kinds of big words they don't really understand in some silly and futile attempt to mask their apaan jhaatism.

Conscience and the pro-PPP Guyana Times are contrary people.

The PNC says clearly that nothing is more important than removing the PPP government from office.

How do Conscience and GTimes react to that mortal threat?

Coalition talks with the AFC "fizzle" --- good news for the PPP.

Is that so? I would be very worried if I were a Freedumb House operator.

If in fact they were do you really believe your corrupt PPP party could have got away with this much? Do you really believe the streets would be as quiet as it is now? Would Guyana really be as peaceful as it is Councie, if all that you and the rest of PPP losers keep braying about PNC thugs were true there woulda been nuff nuff dead people and burnt buildings,you know the  story I doan have to tell you.

You and yugi spread malicious tales and are stupid to be preaching racist shit here.

Think of that you buffoon.

"People should never be both stupid and proud."

Love it Shaitaain.

Continued expressions of your delusion, blindly imagining that others are like you.

Is that a failed attempt at haiku or some other form of archaic poetry I'm unfamiliar with?

Lemme try:

Negroes, everywhere

dhall, banned

sardines, scotland not spain

oh maninga, cane is cut

where is price?

Your right to try anything.

ADD tarass!

LMAO LMAO

Listen ole man, make sure you take your medication to night because your nurses already told you that if your mess yourself tonight they will take you outside and hose you down.

Oh Oh DG, a hosing down in that cold could really do some shrinkage.

ah kinda feel sorry for DG. I almost feel bad sometimes for him. poor chap. It's not really a crime to be old and schupid

Then I go back to reading his defense of evil and I'm back to hating him again

Its not his age is the problem.  Its his senility which is reflected here on GNI.

PNCR/APNU prepares for going solo

February 2, 2015 By GuyanaTimes

APNU Leader David Granger

Elections 2015:

 

… as coalition talks with AFC fizzle

 

Despite ongoing talks of a “pro-democracy alliance” between A Partnership For National Unity (APNU) and the Alliance For Change, the People’s National Congress Reform (PNCR) – the mainstay in of the coalition – is forging ahead with its plans for the upcoming elections, identifying its Presidential Candidate and mobilising party groups for elections campaign.

This move, observers say, is a clear indication that APNU is not placing all its eggs in the coalition-basket with the Khemraj Ramjattan-led AFC, which has studiously tried to distance itself from the coalition grouping since the prorogation of Parliament, as it practiced a “hold me- loose me” strategy.

The PNCR has also moved ahead and selected David Granger as its Presidential Candidate ignoring the current “secret talks” where it took a month for the MOU to keep it secret to be consummated. Guyana Times has already reported on the lack of political will by the AFC to risk its main voting constituency in Berbice to form an alliance with the PNCR. Key executive member of the minority opposition party, Daizal Samad had flatly told this newspaper in an earlier interview that the coalition would never happen, insisting that the talks were all but a “talent scouting” exercise.

In a statement issued following its General Council meeting on Saturday, the PNCR said that it is committed to ending winner-take-all – politics in Guyana, noting that nothing is more important than removing the People’s Progressive Party/Civic (PPP/C) Government from office. The General Council was held under the theme “PNCR For National Unity, Good Governance and Development” and was chaired by Party Chairman Basil Williams. In his welcome and introductory remarks the party chairman reminded council members that it was just 100 days to the May 11th General and Regional elections.

A minute of silence was observed for party stalwarts including the late Dr. Faith Harding, who had passed away in the period between General Councils. Mr Williams did not mention that Ms Harding left the PNC Central Executive very bitter with Mr Granger, being favoured for leadership by the party executives. The General Secretary’s report was presented by Amna Ally Assistant General Secretary of the PNCR. Ally brought General Council up-to –date with the state of the party and its readiness to contest the upcoming General and Regional Elections. The Assistant General Secretary said that the party’s operations in all ten administrative regions of the country are poised and ready for the task ahead.

In his feature address Granger made absolutely no mention of the proposed alliance with the AFC and said that Guyanese were looking to APNU for change. “Without the APNU there will be more crime, more drop-outs, more unemployment, more murders, more wastage of state-funds, more strikes more poverty, more street children…. That is why we must win…”

Granger said that the party has recognised 2015 as “year of democratic renewal”, noting that an APNU administration will restore to Guyanese the right to elect their own local leaders by holding local government elections. Granger said the PNCR was committed to strengthening the Partnership (APNU), he said; “the PNCR is committed to ending winner take all politics, shared governance is what is needed to move Guyana forward.” Granger called on the General Council, all party members, supporters, donors to come out and support APNU. The statement added that the General Council passed a resolution in support Granger’s leadership of the PNCR and as APNU’s Presidential Candidate for the 2015 General and Regional Elections. After a lively plenary the second session was chaired by PNCR Vice Chairman Ms. Volda Lawrence, which was dedicated to planning for the May 11th General and Regional Elections. General Council concluded with a summation and charge which was given by Granger.

 

Campaign

On Friday last Granger had announced that APNU will be launching its elections campaign on the Birth Anniversary of former President Forbes Burnham, Feb 20. Guyana Times was told that the date for the launch was proposed by Granger and apparently his colleagues from the Working People’s Alliance (WPA) were caught off guard with the coincidence of the launch and Burnham’s birthday. Dr Clive Thomas of the WPA had complained that as a member of APNU, the WPA was not being consulted when decisions affecting all members were made.
