GUYANA: Big change but not at the top
Guyana’s general election on 1 September produced both a familiar outcome and a major surprise. The ruling People’s Progressive Party/Civic (PPP/C), which has held power for all but one term since 1991, won another term in office under President Irfaan Ali. Its closest challenger, however, was not A Partnership for National Unity (Apnu) led by its traditional rival People’s National Congress Reform (PNCR), but rather a new party, which ended the longstanding political duopoly in Guyana. We Invest in Nationhood (WIN), the party of the US-sanctioned businessman Azruddin Mohamed, made a big impression, winning 25% of the vote and 16 seats in the 65-seat national assembly, displacing Apnu as the main opposition.
