The PPP is probably wondering how to accommodate this mass migration of folks coming in to their camp…..On the other side, the AFC/PNC goons are trying to accommodate the four people including the two policemen on duty that are attending their rallies…………….

Gillian BurtonImmediate Past President of the Guyana Trades Union Congress (GTUC), Gillian Burton has endorsed the incumbent Peoples Progressive Party Civic’s (PPPC) re-election- a move her successor says can put some heavier workload on the opposition.
Burton is the second former African Guyanese critic of the PPP administration that is known to have endorsed the PPPC, the first being former executive member of the Peoples National Congress Reform (PNCR), Joseph Hamilton. Hamilton is also an ex-member of the House of Israel cult whose late leader David Hill alias Rabbi Edward Washington had publicly admitted to breaking up opposition meetings during the Forbes Burnham-led PNC administration.
The GTUC’s current president, Norris Witter labeled Burton and Hamilton opportunists without a conviction or constituency.
Witter, however, argued that the move by people like Burton and Hamilton meant that the political opposition would now have to target undecided voters.
“The fact that they have held some positions of prominence may send some negative signals that can pose a problem for the indecisive and the party in opposition will have to work harder to expose the opportunism in people like Burton and Hamilton,” he told Demerara Waves Online News ( www.demwaves.com )
In an invited comment, spokesman for the opposition coalition A Partnership for National Unity (APNU), Lance Carberry told a news conference that those who have gone across were enjoying their constitutional right. The APNU is made up of the PNCR, WPA, Guyana Action Party (GAP) and the National Front Alliance (NFA).
For her part, Burton defended her decision while attending the PPPC’s rally held Sunday in Kitty, Georgetown. “When you look at the manifestos of the other parties, I think the PPPC has a manifesto that not only incorporates the adults but the young people of this country,” she told reporters. She cited the One Laptop Per Family (OLPF) as one initiative in the interest of the country.
She denied that she had back-peddled on some of her very harsh criticisms of the PPPC-led administration. “It is not a back-peddling, it is taking Guyana forward unitedly and making sure that the people continue on the way to success,” Burton added.
Hamilton, Burton and the Head of the University of Guyana’s Faculty of Health Sciences, Dr. Emmanuel Cummings are among the new faces on the PPP’s campaign trail.
Cummings has pointedly appealed to Guyanese of African descent to vote for the PPP so that party could win Region Four – Upper Demerara/Mahaica- an administrative region that the PNCR has controlled for decades.
