Final Election result will be as follows:

PPP 54 Percent

APNU 40 percent

Others fight for spoils.

I am going that way also not that I am a Pollster.

THe vibes I am getting from People in Guyana is that the People know the "GAME" the opposition is playing and that their FUTURE will be more SECURED with the PPP.  People are scared to even think what will happen shoud the reckless and careless Opposition be in power.

It is the fear of the PNC combined with the "games" that the opposition is playing. The big loser will be the AFC which misjudged the mood of the Guyanese public.

The PPP has over the last 60 years politically and racially enslaved Indo Guyanese

Dear Editor, Kindly allow me to respond to Mr Vishnu BIsram’s letter, “One can’t bully his or her way into governance when rejected by the voters,” (Kaieteur News 05-20-11). Mr. Bisram on several occasions referred to the PPP Government as a democratically elected one. I want to challenge that notion and show that the regime was not elected in elections that were free and fair, and to show that it is a racially elected government. I also want to expose the inherent hidden racism in Bisram’s letter. Before I start to do so I wish to point out the obvious sly deviousness of Mr. Bisram’s letter. In writing about Tacuma Ogunsesye and David Hinds, he acknowledged their contributions to the struggles in the 1970’s and 80’s but then he wrote, “the struggle does not give them the right to advocate lawlessness and violence against an elected government.” Here Bisram hides under the cloak of impartiality and fairness in order to state a blatant lie about Ogunseye and Hinds. His intention is to reinforce the PPP’s demonization of Ogunseye and Hinds. I listened to Ogunseye’s speech on Demerara Waves and he did not call for lawlessness and violence. I now move onto the main purpose of my letter. Mr. Bisram, like Mr. Ravi Dev, refers to the PPP regime as being democratically elected at free and fair elections. I would like to critically examine this position by asking if the PPP is a democratic institution, and if Indo Guyanese were really free from fear. One only has to look at the manner in which the PPP presidential candidate was imposed by President Jagdeo on the PPP membership and Indo Guyanese to see how undemocratic the PPP is. PPP members were not allowed to elect their candidate. They never heard from any of the presidential hopefuls of the PPP. Instead a President Jagdeo controlled 15-member Executive Committee “chose” Mr. Donald Ramotar for the 2,000 odd members of the PPP. The PPP membership had no say in the matter. Indo Guyanese had no input on the matter but they are expected to just accept such a dictatorial imposition. This absence of democracy in the PPP is by itself an aberration of free and fair election at the national level. Another anomaly is that the PPP exercises control over Indo Guyanese by exploiting racial fears. A perfect example was the manner in which President Jagdeo and Mr. Ramotar kicked off their 2011 elections campaign by hurling false accusations against the PNC’s candidate that was designed to demonize that candidate and create suspicion and fear in Indo Guyanese. Rather than campaign on its “glorious past 19 years in power,” the PPP constantly resorts to disparaging the character of the David Granger. However, the PPP does not only rely on racial fear mongering to get Indo Guyanese to vote enbloc for the party. It resorts to intimidation on elections day. This intimidation takes place in two stages. Firstly, PPP activists armed with voters lists go from house to house urging people to go and vote. They make a show of marking off names on the voters list. Secondly, outside the place of poll more PPP activists move around with the voters list and again mark off names. Gullible Indo Guyanese are shown these lists and are told, “see we know which ballot you will vote on so we will know how you vote.” I learned of this voter intimidation when I was the ROAR Election Agent in 2001. I made the above observations in the Canals Polder and Vreed En Hoop Districts. I also observed that many Polling Officers were school teachers and some were known PPP members/supporters. It is well known that opposition polling agents do not stay around in PPP strongholds after the close of poll to count the votes. This may explain why ROAR only “got” two votes in Ravi Dev’s home villages of De Willem and Uitvlugt in 2001, and why AFC only “got” one vote in Khemraj Ramjattan’s home village of Number 47 Village  in 2006. A point to note is that the PPP only employs racial fear mongering and intimidation against Indo Guyanese. It does not do so with the other ethnic groups. That Indo Guyanese voted enbloc for the PPP means that the PPP was not democratically elected but rather it was racially elected. The PPP over the last 60 years has politically and racially enslaved Indo Guyanese. It is this racial enslavement that caused Bisram to write, “One can’t bully his or her way into governance when rejected by the voters.” This is true in a monolithic society. It might be even true in a multi-racial society where political parties campaign on issues such as Trinidad and Tobago. But In Guyana where the ruling PPP habitually resorts to racism to garner Indo Guyanese votes it means then that Bisram’s “rejected by the voters” translates into Afro Guyanese being rejected by Indo Guyanese. What is even worse is that Bisram wants Ogunseye and Hinds to accept the rejection and stay quiet. This is a recipe for social unrest, and disaster for Guyana. Fortunately for Guyana we have David Granger who is the opposite of the PPP leaders. Granger is a spiritually developed soul and he has mastered his ego. He also has an educated mind. After he retired from the GDF he spent the last 20 years pursuing academic excellence and today he is a respected intellectual and history scholar. It is his sense of history that has caused him to embrace shared governance should he be elected as President of Guyana. Malcolm Harripaul

Which ever opposition gets in power I do know that it would not be as bad as it currently is.

There is no vision layout for this country Guyana. Where there is no vision, the country perish.

Opposition Leader David Granger (left) accompanied by A Partnership for National Unity (APNU) Members of Parliament Ronald Bulkan and Christopher Jones, heard criticisms against the People’s Progressive Party Civic-dominated Regional Democratic Council of the Pomeroon- Supenaam Region during a recent visit to the area.

A release from APNU said that Granger and Bulkan speaking to audiences at Anna Regina and Suddie explained how President Donald Ramotar and the PPP/C government had obstructed the holding of local government elections and prorogued Parliament. Parliament has not met for over four months now. (APNU photo)

A vision is important but it also take cooperation of the opposition to put Guyana first.

The opposition is hellbent on voting down important projects that can propel Guyana.

A majority PPP is needed for continued progress.

We need not forget the 28 years of Donkey Cart economics by Carl Greendige and PNC dictators Hoyte and Burnham who destroyed Guyana.

Remember the lineups for basic necessities like food and gas along with month long blackouts ?

Carl Creenidge proudly stood in the National Assembly and boldly declared that Guyana's treasury was empty.

Malcolm writes unconvincingly.

Mits, Who wrote such BULLSHIT. Political Parties all over the World select their Candidates in many different versions that are not Democratic.

It happened here in NY recently with Baldeo, the GREAT USA!!!

Indo fears are not concocted by the PPP. They are real. Malcolm and his former boss, Ravi Dev, played on real Indian fears while he was with ROAR party. He is now contradicting himself. Don't take him seriously. There are too many cracks in his cases against the PPP. He is yet to write something of value.

PPP believes by hollering and repeating the word democracy and sprinkling it in speeches the people will be convinced that Guyana is a democracy.

The people are no fools they know they are living in a modern day dictatorship.

They are some brainwashed fools in America who think the US is a dictatorship. Guyana is not void of such people. People voting against a gov't in a nation with a history of free elections don't necessarily do so because they think the ruling party is a dictatorial. The vote for a variety of reasons. Many who voted for the PNC wanted dictatorship. Those who voted for the PPP feared dictatorship. Many of those of voted AFC wanted Moses and not necessarily a coalition gov't headed by the PNC.

Just watch how the AFC tumbles off a cliff.

The PPP should be more careful that they do not their own selves crushed...

The PPP has to depend on the Amerindian vote to stay afloat.

It's a fact that Donald who squatted on Omai and then ruined Guysuco, was handpicked by the puppeteer, Jagdeo. PPP insider polls show that Ramo is very unpopular. The grass root supporters are ready to rebel by staying away and encouraging others to do likewise.

The Amerindians don't know that but if they knew then the PPP's cork is duck..

We will see SOON.

Look, first take the scales off your eyes and I think you would be able to see clearly what the people in Guyana are seeing and upset about.

Question:
Would you fund/budget a shed for $7 million knowing that it would only cost $1 million? Why such an abuse on tax payer money? Would you keep paying millions to fix pot holes and have to do the same thing over in a few months? Why not hold the contractor accountable or is it you get what you paid for? Why not used some of the IDB funds to build infrastructures such as, better roads and bridges to connect our regions and better drainage system.

If you are serious about crime and drugs in this country, would you not listen to the people that put you in power to deal with it? Why not get the US DEA involve and proper training suggest by other ambassadors for our police offices?

Is it not shameful to YOU as you walk in our capital city Georgetown you are overwhelm by the stagnant drains and garbage and know that this has been going on for over 15+ years and nothing has changes? Is it not shameful to you that when Caricom heads pass though out city it look like a dump in their view?

Don't you think it time to try something new, like a new government because the people are tired of incompetent year after year?

I think it time for a change in government and I hope the people hold the new government accountable to deliver, if they failed then they should find another that will listen to them.

You statement in bold above is baseless, that's called good governing. Those projects cost if I recalled were inflated and there were no proper studies provided on some of those projects case in point, the Amelia Fall project.

Identical process exists for Canadian and Provincial government elections.

Designated political representatives have access to extremely silently view the polling clerks roster on who has voted and they then check the names off the official list which they receive from electoral commission. Of note, these political representative do not ever discuss, talk with or in any way interact with the polling clerks/representatives.

After the election polls close, the total votes for each political group is provided on a designated board by a senior election officer for each polling station which is then available to the agents for each political group.

The political representatives must immediately leave the location.

The ballot boxes are then ready for counting by the designated officers

Ow Keith ow yuh tekkin advantage pun dis chap even I doan embarrass the man like dis.

The man is unschooled and has not the intellectual capacity to process what you are imparting on it.

Unschooled baboo the mayor of Georgetown is Carol de night nurse Sooba

"If you are serious about crime and drugs in this country, would you not listen to the people that put you in power to deal with it? Why not get the US DEA involve and proper training suggest by other ambassadors for our police offices?"

Dunce, the DEA has an office in Guyana

DEA office was recently opened after stalling

from the PPP

Dunce,

I was responding directly to a poster who does have the mental capacity to post, yet attempts to do so but posts hogwash.

He must be corrected.

 Who you calling dunce????

You.

You are the biggest dunce here posting trash.

Unschooled you stepping into dangerous territory here.

 Did I struck a nerve? 

Mahatma Gandhi said: "Non-cooperation with evil is a sacred duty."

The PPP is corrupt, undemocratic and evil.

Cooperation of the opposition? Quit dreaming.

The role of the opposition is to oppose, expose and depose.

Cooperating with a greater evil to fight another evil is not Non-Cooperation with Evil

Well done, Keith.

You bring a breath of fresh air and a handful of homegrown reality to this forum.

Context is what matters most.

PPPites are attacking the political opposition by studiously avoiding context.

Django, hold your fire!

Don't waste ammunition on nuisance objects.
