This is an impressive win for the PPP. AFC should be dressed up in a yellow coffin and and laid to rest at Congress Place.

Jagdeo showed the PPP how to campaign and work the grassroots. The PPP also put forward a very diverse group of Candidates.

This is very bad news for the PNC but the PPP has to continue working hard and not made the same mistake that Jackass Ramotar made campaigning at the last national election.

Jagdeo paved the way for the new PPP leader and hopefully he or she can translate this to a majority in 2020.

I am just estatic that we can now bury the AFC in a yellow coffin. The AFC made a strategic error given that the turnout was low in PNC strongholds.

Moses and Ramjattan did nothing to assist their local candidates and should have been on the ground similar to what Jagdeo did. They were too ashamed or afraid to face voters after failing to fulfill their massive list of promises and merging with the PNC.

Moses used the voters to have a pension that will be higher than Jagdeo’s. Moses and Ramjattan are scumbags. I waiting for Congress Place to deal with them now.

65% overall WIN. Damn good for an opposition party.

That’s a landslide victory. Mutwah is deeply frustrated and treating the massive wounds that the PPP delivered to the AFC. DJ is bandaging Mutwah’s gashing wounds.

It is now quite obvious why they went all the way to CCJ to stop BJ. He delivered a knock out blow to the AFC.

PNC cannot be written off yet but they have quite an uphill battle ahead. I see a big brawl brewing in the PNC camp if Granger steps aside for Health reasons. They are in deep deep trouble. Their biggest mistake was to shove aside the young and upcoming voter base. They are demoralized and it will be difficult for them to bounce back from such a massive political blow. 

Congratulations to the PPP. I notice the Party has won ALL the seats in Anna Regina town. Baap ray baap; who gon represent non-PPP folks?

That is why I keep saying that the AFC leadership failed to support local candidates. They are too selfish. Given the low turnout, they would have scraped a few seats especially in PNC strongholds. Trotman has a support base that he could have rallied and Moses and Ramjattan were too afraid or ashamed to face voters. 

And I thought whoever gets elected is there to Rep the Community Gilly

 LGE is not the predictor of the National Election outcome. I feel LGE should not be along Party Lines. The people should be able to choose the best candidate , regardless of party affiliation, to represent them re local issues and interests other than weeding parapits and cleaning drains.

That town have mixed population, looks like the Afro Guyanese stayed home.

I guess they were bush cleaning, cooking and weeding their yards.

Afros should not complain that they do not have representation. They need to exercise their right to vote. It seems as if they became very frustrated and disappointed with the PNC. This will translate to their approach to National Elections. Afros tend to stay home when they are angry at their party. Let us not forget that elections are in 2020. The PPP has momentum and their base is energized. 

People power is in the vote and it is important that every single voter exercise that right and do not  give the winner such a massive victory.  

I would have preferred a much closer race. Man, the PPP delivered some big blows to the AFC PNC parties.

Your thought is noble but an ignoble factuality pervades Guyana's political landscape. There are names for that which I abstain from mentioning here.

What you mean?  Each jurisdiction has representation.  It’s not a race.  What you think will happen, PPP rep guh have the guttah in front coolie house clean and leff black people section clogged? 

Why you translating this to national?  You don’t know why kids walking barefooted in Guyana, how can you know to project this to 2020 with a 28% turn out.  Banna yuh funny no ass!!

The only relevant signal i is the PPP recapturing territory from the AFC!!  That’s notable!

An insider source told me that plans are already in place to replace Guyana's ambassador to Cuba, Halim Majeed. He is needed at home to do party work.  Moses will replace him as ambassador to Cuba.

LGE is to elect which political party representative  that will be in charge for weeding parapits and General Election is to elect which political party will be in charge of thieving . Anyway all is the same.

 Whatever the PPP did at the LGE and can continue the pace for the General Election will give them a clear victory. The LGE shows that people did not vote along race, just take a look at the candidates the PPP posted, they had a good mix of all races where it counts.

This is not a national election.  It is 52 LOCAL elections.  The dynamics of each district varies.

The PPP only won 24% in GT so I don't know what inroads into the PNC that they have made.  They merely took back the Indian AFC voters in GT.

Yes the PNC winning 2/3 of the votes in GT which is by far the largest municipality with over 1/4 of Guyana's population.

The PPP's time will be better spent trying to woo disaffected PNC supporters than pretending as if they won 64% of the votes.

Afro representation is what it always is, especially now that the Jagdeo lie about Buxton has been exposed.  Afros never win NDC's in predominantly Indian areas, so what representation did they lose?

Why did Jagdeo lie about Buxton?

It is about race as everyone knows that blacks in the PPP are toothless tokens with no influence. 

Now that Roger Luncheon has gone silent who are the powerful black voices within the PPP?  Juan Edghill, a man who would be up for all sorts of charges were he in the USA?

The results are predictable.  The PPP won in Indo areas (including Indo parts of GT) and the PNC won in the majority black areas.  Many Amerindians who were sympathetic to the UF and GAP transferred their support to the AFC either stayed home or voted PPP.

This is how voting was in Guyana.  PPP gets the rural Indian vote and some Amerindians.  The PNC gets the black and most mixed votes.  Some Amerindians, urban Indians, middle class blacks, and mixed voters constitute the small swing vote.

Many blacks do just fine.  Caribbean Indians on average aren't  better off than Caribbean blacks.  This is in NYC as well as in Guyana itself.  Please stop fooling yourself that the Indo oligarchs define the socio economic position of the average Indian.

Baseman engage in a discussion as to why Indian indentures have done much worse than did their fellow Chinese and Portuguese indentures, and I suspect even the Bajan immigrants, many being the core

Hi Japanese,

Guyanese and Caribbean people in general speak English in a continuum.   Those who have studied it claim 2 basilectal varieties (rural and urban), an upper and lower mesolectal, standard English and English when we want to sound posh.

I know its confusing as we tend to view all as English.  When you visit us enjoy!!

Baseman, I think this is one of Tola's students using Tola's ID to post. Remember Tola said he has Indian and Japanese students who are reading this site to learn about Guyana. One of them (noriko I think the name was) conversed with me on another thread.

They don't understand creolese, so write in English. And if yuh English not that good you can ask Bibi to help you. Just don't pay her with Brooklax, arite?

And Georgetown was a prosperous booming city in 1985?  The fact that a small PNC elite benefitted didn't mean that this extended to others.  A high % of the black middle class left then so clearly they weren't benefitting, and the WPA's large meetings when Rodney was alive showed that the grass roots didn't either.  One had to be brave to go to those events given that the PPP' thugs, some now PPP MPs, then of the House of Israel, were quite willing to break people's bones.

Ironic isn't it that the tools of Burnham's oppression now sit happily among the ranks of the PPP.

This person asked a valid question and I coached Tola as to how to respond to them.  This is the culture so those who prefer to write in Creolese can continue.
