And the PPP peaked in 1997 with 55 percent. Say it ain't so, Rev.
You know why the PPP peaked in 1997? Cheddi Jagan died the year before and Janet Jagan was Presidential Candidate. Sympathy votes for the Jagans, plus admiring votes for a first-time woman candidate.
The PPP will never perform like that again. It's downhill all the way to the dunghill this time.
gilly:
* Good explanation above.
* Listen! The PPP(48.6%) in 2011 missed out on a majority by just under 5000 votes.
* With the boots on the ground strategy in the next election, the PPP is highly confident it will encourage enough of its supporters to help the party win by a majority in the next election.
* Anyway gilbakka, keep on dreaming and wishing for an AFC victory from the comfort of your home and workplace in Canada. While you are dreaming and wishing, the esteemed President Donald Ramotar, his party and PPP supporters are working arduously to win back a majority.
