Guyana rejects Ramotar and ‘cohabitation’
Guyana’s outgoing president, Donald Ramotar of the People’s Progressive Party/Civic (PPP/C), spent much of the PPP/C’s fifth consecutive term in power complaining about the split decision in the 2011 general election that awarded the presidency to the PPP/C but a one-seat parliamentary majority to the combined opposition of A Partnership for National Unity (APNU) and the Alliance for Change (APC). On 11 May, the electorate rectified that earlier bout of indecision, but not in the way Ramotar wanted: APNU/AFC, fighting the election this time as a formal alliance, maintained its one-seat advantage in parliament but also secured the presidency for APNU leader David Granger.
