The OAS Observer Mission, the British High Commissioner, the United States Representative and the Private Sector Commission have all publicly raised concerns about the dangers of inflammatory language being used in the election campaign in Guyana. The US representative went further and pointed out that the consequences that such language could endanger post-election peace and stability.

The pit bull politics of aggression and personal villification were launched this elections season, as it was at the last elections, with Dr. Bharrat Jagdeo. The elections of 2011 were characterized by the excessive use of hostile and accusatory language, focused mainly on the PNCR’s past and abuse of political opponents.   Continue reading →

Former President Bharrat Jagdeo has issued a fatwah claiming there will be no debates between and among the candidates for elections. He claims that he cannot multitask: suck cane and whistle. His focus seems to be reclaiming support for his party which from all accounts is fraying at the seams. “boat gone a falls can’t turn back.”

GAWU, the sugar workers union in Guyana, last Friday heckled President Donald Ramotar and called him names that imply that the party is over. Big business men like Ramkarran, Yesu Persaud have also put the PPP on notice that their support will go elsewhere forcing Jagdeo to…

Guyana’s former president Bharrat Jagdeo headed a Commonwealth Secretariat observer mission to monitor the electoral process in Sri Lanka to ensure that the process was conducted in a free and fair manner without threats from the sitting president or the armed forces.  Continue reading →
