GUYANA: Ali promises to spread the wealth
Guyana’s President Irfaan Ali was sworn in for a second term on 7 September. In his inauguration speech, he promised to govern for all, maintaining that Guyana’s greatest achievements were when it was united. Ali presented a programme which he said would ensure that the country’s economic growth would translate into tangible improvements for its citizens. This was an implicit acknowledgement that despite presiding over vast oil wealth his ruling People’s Progressive Party/Civic (PPP/C) government had failed to do enough in his first term, reflected in the big gains for the nascent We Invest in Nationhood (WIN) party of the US-sanctioned businessman Azruddin Mohamed in the general election on 1 September. WIN came from nowhere to finish second and will now provide the main opposition.
