Poor PPP.  Do they think that this was a national election?

What did the PPP win?  Do they know that Granger is the President, and their mortal enemy Nagamootoo is the PM, and this is NOT going to change until 2020.

The PPP needs to stop fooling themselves that a national election is the same as a local.  Most of the APNU votes are in the municipalities, almost all of which the PPP lost.  APNU voters stayed home because they had no fear of a PPP victory. 

The PPP needs to deal with the fact that, once again, their statements make them look like a "coolie people party" in a nation where the Indo vote declines every time Caribbean Airlines, and LIAT take off!

Funny.  You jump up and down and call name, yet you can NEVER offer evidence to back your claims.

FACT.  Most of the rural villages are majority Indian.  Fact most of the seats in the NDCs will go to the PPP as Guyanese vote race.

Now can you tell us something that we didn't already know, like the PPP being banished from almost all of the municipalities.

In 1994 the PPP won 8 seats in G/town, yet in 2016 they win a scant 2, when even the independents won 3. 

In Linden they win NONE.  In Lethem, traditionally a town hostile to the PNC, the PPP LOSES. 

In Mabaruma, and the rest of the North west district, the PPP struggles.

But like the rest of the PPP you think that the PPP is a "coolie people party" and that it will win in 2020 based only on the Indian vote.  Though of course you will deny this.  But your boss Jagdeo, screams that he "consolidated the East Indian vote".
