PPP Presidential Candidate, Irfaan Ali
During a press conference, yesterday, Jagdeo said that Ali is still a good candidate because the voters know that the charges brought before him were fueled by ulterior motives.
“People know,” Jagdeo said. “People understand that these are politically motivated; done by an agency that is corrupt.” Continue reading

A Conservatory Order has been requested by Attorney-at-law, Christopher Ram, to halt the process of House-to-House registration, which started on Saturday July 20, 2019.

— Applications requested by Bharrat Jagdeo, Christopher Ram and Charrandass Persaud
The Caribbean Court of Justice (CCJ) yesterday dismissed applications by Opposition Leader Bharrat Jagdeo, Chartered Accountant Christopher Ram and former Member of Parliament Charrandass Persaud to block today’s sitting of the National Assembly.
The Application, filed by Attorneys Anil Nandlall and Sanjeev Datadin, sought an order of the Court to block the parliamentary sitting until the outcome of the appeals before the CCJ on the no-confidence matter.
Listing the grounds for application, the attorneys contended that the convening of the National Assembly is contrary to the rule of law in the circumstances of a No Confidence Motion. Continue reading
OPINION: Possible messages concerning the absentee presidential candidate
Irfaan Ali
The opposition presidential candidate (Irfaan Ali) is nowhere around at this crucial moment, in this surging frantic race to an election date and day. He has become a nowhere man in a no man’s land. It is as if a captain abandoned ship during the roughest seas, or is sidelined by, believe it or not, a claim of seasickness. In this particular instance, it might even be a case of do not be seen, and whatever else is done, do not be heard saying anything about anything. What are the messages that resound from this bizarre situation? How should reasonable citizens interpret what is becoming increasingly, painfully obvious?
First, the leading player (Bharrat Jagdeo) is not just in the forefront of every issue, every development, and every occasion; he has arrogated to himself a pure monopoly presence and power. He is presence and party; he might already be president, truth be told, at least, in his own head. This is today and a harbinger of what is to come. Continue reading
“We are not afraid of Roger Khan’s release”- Bharrat Jagdeo
Roger Khan
Khan, who is expected to be released on July 8, 2019 from a US jail for trafficking cocaine to that country, had stated in several newspaper statements before he had been captured in neighbouring Suriname that he had prevented the Jagdeo administration from being toppled by a coup. Continue reading
Bharrat Jagdeo
He has been accused of marginalizing Afro-Guyanese and sponsoring a “death squad”, which “killed over 400 black people.” It was even said that under his rule, Guyanese of African ancestry were “stifled.” But former President Bharrat Jagdeo is saying that this is not true. In fact, he is calling for a “fact based” debate with African leaders on his record regarding the treatment of Afro-Guyanese.
Jagdeo said this at a recent press conference.
The former President, who now operates as PPP’s General Secretary, said that A Partnership for National Unity, which has as its main party, the People’s National Congress—knows that it cannot now return to young people—“after three years of neglect—and tell them how much the partnership cares. Jagdeo said, “They cannot talk about corruption, they cannot promise jobs so they are coming with racial rhetoric.” Continue reading
Dual citizenship Debate: Jagdeo says law not retroactive
Jan 01, 2019
Blair and Jagdeo
The Deputy Chairman of the main opposition People’s Progressive Party (PPP) in Linden, Akanni Blair has decided to join A New United Guyana (ANUG), less than three days after it announced its existence.
Blair confirmed his move in an interview with Demerara Waves Online News, saying that while the governing David Granger-led coalition was not expected to win the next genera elections, he is worried that if the PPP wins again the country could end up being a one-party state like Cuba if there is no constitutional reform.

PPP/C presidential candidate to be picked before year end – Jagdeo
Bharrat Jagdeo
Stabroek News – 18 December 2018
Assuring that the PPP/C’s presidential candidate for the 2020 general elections will be named before year end, the party’s leader Bharrat Jagdeo yesterday (17 Dec 2018) said that criminal charges will have no impact on the selection process.
Earlier in the year, Jagdeo had said that the candidate would have been named before the November 12 local government elections. It was later said that this had been pushed back until after the budget debates and consideration of the estimates. The budget was passed last Friday and since then there has been no word coming from the opposition’s camp as to who will be the presidential candidate. Earlier this year, a possible third term as president for Jagdeo was ruled out by the Caribbean Court of Justice. Continue reading
Guyana Politics: The Freudian mind of the PPP – By Freddie Kissoon
The Freudian mind of the PPP
The announcement at Babu Jaan didn’t come. The PPP is on auto-pilot. The PPP is in self-destruct mode. This means the PPP will not be in power in 2019. But could it get power in 2019? I honestly don’t know. But the Jagdeoite PPP is not doing anything to make that possibility and that probability come to life.
Guyana is facing an imminent election. A party with a sordid past and gargantuan baggage has to reshape its image to win that election. It is becoming pellucid with the passing of each day that the Freudian carcinoma that has been eating away at the PPP since Jagan’s horrendous strategic mistakes in the fifties is still chewing at the liver of the PPP.
