Tell you what.  At this time in the last campaign APNU just woke up from its slumber because it had no money to wage a long term campaign.  The AFC was stuck going no where until suddenly Nagamootoo left the PPP and joined them.

Yet they won 51%.

Now I was skeptical about APNU AFC campaigning.  They have been waging an aggressive campaign.  They have a youth arm which has been quite innovative, and to be honest Guyanese are TIRED of the PPP.

Now the PPP are shrewd, hungry and corrupt and are shameless in stealing, and openly at that, taxpayer funds to campaign.  They have the full power of incumbency, and so they can find ways to offset the boredom that even many Indians have of them. They can even offset the fact that for the first time in 22 years FREEDOM day is coming for black and mixed Guyanese, as they see a high probability of a PPP defeat.

And that is why it is 50:50.  Its the power of the PPP vs. the will of the people.  It all depends on who shows up and whether people vote HOPE or FEAR!.

That is why I assumed that he meant 50%+1.  I think that this is what he really means, but just cannot say so.

Post election scenario.

Rev disappears never to post again on GNI. Having lost face over Obama, when he vanished for 2 years, he will not be able to withstand the shame again.

1.  Results show the APNU AFC wins 50.1% of the vote, the PPP 48.9% with other baby parties pulling in the rest (Mark has gone missing).

2.  The PPP screams that the PNC controlled GECOM rigged the elections and it is 1973 again.  Jimmy Carter tells them to behave and just put on their prison suits and accept their fates as their butt buddy Roger Khan now is.

3.  Jagdeo gets into a rage and says that HE is going no where.  He screams that he is GOD and that he owns Guyana and that the "coolie party" should rule forever because he says so.

Ramotar is quiet.  Harper is seen boarding a flight to Toronto. 

Kamla calls up Jagdeo and tells him that he is making Indo dominated govts look bad and that Rowley is going to use this against her when she is forced to hold elections.  She too is bedeviled by tremendous corruption within her ranks.

4.  A bunch of "unexplained" attacks on Indians commence.  Granger and Nagamootoo hold a press conference decrying those attacks and urging the PPP to accept the results and resign.  Jagdeo screams no way  It turns out that its "dirty" Indians who are being attacked.

5.  The ABC nations, the OAS and several CARICOM nations (Trinidad included) threaten sanctions against Guyana and to withhold PPP official visas and to deny them the right to board CAL planes if they don't resign.

6.  Jagdeo and his boyfriend from Guyana Times are seen boarding a private jet, destination unknown.  Several ministries as well as NICIL and Go Invest go up in flames and the entire Gov't IT system crashes.  It turns out that all the fire began in areas where files are stored.

7.  Clinton Urling meets with Granger and says he was only joking when  he allowed himself to be placed on the PPP list and as an expert soup connoisseur declares that APNU soup taste much better.

8.  Kwame was seen at the airport wailing that the PPP elite f0rgot him and that it isn't fair.

Kit Nascimento, Norman McLean and others remind Granger of the "sterling work" that they did for the PNC in the past, and offer their services.  Granger says no thanks.  Rohee begs Nagamootoo for a job.  H begs for pity, claiming that, alone among PPP officials he didn't steal enough, so really needs a job.

9. Jay Bharrat joins the PPP when he sees that 60% of the heads of govt agencies or corporations are African.  He thought that since Moses parted the Red Sea who would also take over the PNC and as a result have 80%  of the slots go to Nagamootoo AFC supporters.

Given the percentages the PPP score and taking you at your word that most duglas and Afros vote PNC, then most other races (Indian and non-Indian) vote PPP, unless you view them as "children of a lesser god".

All the mix/duglas i know want the PPP/C to win. They know a good thing when they see it.

LOL! CaribJ, Can I frame this masterpiece?

President Ramotar Asks Guyanese To Help The PPP/Civic Win Their Biggest Victory Ever

QUESTION FOR ALL GNIers

* What is the biggest percentage victory the PPP has ever achieved in a general election in Guyana ? And what year was that ?

* Maybe I should post that question in gilbakka's "lemme tickle allyuh brain" thread in social---there are some real sharp people who post there.

https://guyana.crowdstack.io/topic/lemme-tickle-allyuh-brain

* Folks like yuji and baseman are already predicting a 54% win for the PPP---they'll have to do slightly better to have their biggest victory ever.

Rev

Indians are fed up with the PPP/Crooks, and now being drawn to the APNU+AFC Unity Party.

Rawan lost the war.

lemme-tickle-allyuh-brain.

Voters must not forget the record of

Lumumba, Kwamee, Hamilton,

Kit Nascimento, Norman McClean,

Edgehill, Witicka and Bynoe

and Keep on Voting for the PPP.

Here is my 'guestimate'... PNC will get around 40%, AFC 2%, Others 5%, PPP 53%.

I think you mean 'guesstimate'. You are a very talented and creative bean kounta.

Mits,leave poor Alena alone at least an effort

have been made,big surprise on May 12.

The PPP gets around 60% of the Amerindian vote, but given that the vast majority of non Indians are black or mixed, then the vast majority of non Indians hate the PPP......

Your point!  Understand that Amerindians don't have a stake in coastal governance. so will vote for the presumed winner in order to guarantee access to state resources.  Now that the PPP isn't the presumed winner they may not do as well among this group.

Now do you include among "other races"  Chinese slave labor, who should not have a right to vote as they are neither Commonwealth citizens or permanent residents of Guyana?   Because the Guyanese who aren't African, Indian, Amerindian, or mixed aren't even 1%.  I suspect that most of them are AFC supporters as well.
