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

Guyana Politics: I feel personally insulted by Irfaan Ali’s Press Conference – Freddie Kissoon
I feel personally insulted by what Irfaan Ali did
Most people are familiar with that old saying, “whom the gods wish to destroy they first make mad.” If I had any respect for Irfaan Ali, he has lost it. If I had any admiration for Irfaan he has lost it. I am referring to his recent press conference in which he appointed Kwame McCoy to direct.
Irfaan has gone mad. The gods have destroyed him. Of course the gods rendered him incompetent before sending him off to Hades. How perceptive is Ali? The question is he isn’t at all. Just take a fleeting glance at any PPP rally the past three months and you will see handsome and beautiful young people in the crowd, many of whom have university degrees. Continue reading →
