AS an overseas Guyanese who is interested in what goes on in Guyana, I wish to urge the Guyanese electorate to vote for Mr. Donald Ramotar for the Presidency of Guyana in the coming General Elections.
Mr. Ramotar is a well liked personality for those who have interacted with him over the years. He is always eager to listen to your problems and more willing to help where possible. Moreover, Mr. Ramotar has been quite close to what has been going on in Guyana for several decades now and consequently, only he is in a position to see the pros and cons of various situations in the country.
He had closely worked with the late Dr. Cheddi Jagan for the longest possible while, thus he will be the most suitable person to honour Dr. Jagan by seeking to implement some of Dr. Jagan's ideas to benefit the whole Guyanese nation. The people will lose if Mr. Ramotar is not the next President of Guyana.

Ramotar is a lame duck, he is one of the most disliked person in the sugar industry for causing hundreds to lose their jobs. He sat on the Guysuco board while the sugar industry went down the drain.
He might be a good listener, but dam short in doing anything about it.
His track record shows he will make a terrible president and do the same or worst than Jagdeo.
He is Jagdeo's puppet, who will control him as is shown presently by hanging on to Jagdeo's shirt-tail.

He was on Czechoslovakia editing World Marxist Review when Burnham's goons including Taps and Lumumba were beating the hell out of low ranked PPP guys and WPA folks. Ramotar did not suffer and never went to the lock up. He was well rewarded by being on the Guysuco and OMAI boards.

And so did many others. Does telling the FACTS = assassinating character? It is a fact he spent years in a communist country.

Here is the actual letter, note the caps.

AS an overseas Guyanese who is interested in what goes on in Guyana, I wish to urge the Guyanese electorate NOT to vote for Mr. Donald Ramotar for the Presidency of Guyana in the coming General Elections.
Mr. Ramotar is a NOT A well liked personality EVEN for those who have interacted with him over the years. He WAS NOT always eager to listen to your problems and NOT willing to help where possible. Moreover, Mr. Ramotar has NOT EVEN been quite close to what has been going on in Guyana for several decades now and consequently, he is NOT in a position to see the pros and cons of various situations in the country.
He had closely worked with the late Dr. Cheddi Jagan for the longest possible while, AND YET he will NOT be the most suitable person to honour Dr. Jagan by NOT seeking to implement some of Dr. Jagan's ideas to benefit the whole Guyanese nation. The people will NOT lose if Mr. Ramotar is not the next President of Guyana.

One step forward with Jagdeo and two steps back with Donald. We need vibrant young people at the helm, not old has been whose only claim to fame is fighting the PNC which has been out of power for the past 19 years. Is Donald as savvy with technology as Jagdeo? Does he see technological improvements as a waste of money and want to revert back to the days of the abacus and typewriter?

Hopefully Jagdeo will play the role of Putin where he is behind the scenes directing Donald until he can run again in 5 years.
