Let them get on with doing the people’s work NOW!!! Let reasonable minds prevail and let Guyana develop into a greater nation!!!!!
Don’t all patriotic Guyanese wish and pray?
Congratulations Guyanese! Glad you finally woke up.
Thanks for the first part. Why insult us? Do you think Guyanese are lazy, sleepy people?
i never realized how racially divided guyana was… the ppp has done a tremendous disevice to the country over the past two decades… look around you… whether you are of indian decent or african or native and or any other. what is there to be proud of? in comparison to the other countries around us we are way behind in so many areas… the average citizen (regardless of race) is not a priority when it comes to the decision making… onlythe rich keep getting richer and the hard working people are crapped on… hopefully this new parliament will be able to get guyana back on the right track and maybe we will be once more respected by the world… when it think of the current political situation in guyana, i flash back to the days of the great west indies… a team which represented our region… a team that we should all support and rally behind but did not always… i can remember when india or pakistan came to town, the divide was oh so obvious… we were all west indians but the blacks rallied around the windies and the indians all suddenly became anti windies… i did not recognize some of my friends during those times… and these were people whom i would share meals with etc…. same is evident when it comes to politics… the indians will overwhelmingly vote ppp while the blacks cast ballots for pnc… it is high time we realize that we are one nation and we need to look out for each other… a bad government does damage to all racial groups not just a few… and this is very evident in good old guyana… when i visit i see black and indians suffering not just one group in particular… so it is high time we pay attention to the issues that plague our country and not the color of the skin of the people who can possibly bring about the change we need… if something is not working, you change it… when it is broken you fix it… the parliament has been broken for years… ppp has not worked… it is high time we as guyanse woke up… maybe this is the start of the recovery process… god bless…
Not the best but good enough – now the process of jailing the crooks can be – first past the post must be kwame.
The last time i checked, the crooks are still having life in their favor; has it not been the same government handling stuff?
Congratulation to the PPP Civic, I hope to see GECOM make better arrangements for the next election.
donald ramotar for president,father in heaven help us all.
Stop being a baby and let us work for a better Guyana, your prayers may be answered ald all.
WELL DONE AFC U SANK THE PPP SHIP
u r sailing in the ship, seems like u dont know what is going on
I assume that 777E want to say that AFC took 2 seats from the PPP thus leaving them without total control over Parliament. The opposing parties have control (that is if they agree to form a coalition) which they should in order to have equilibrium in the decisions being made. This may however, slow development if both the ruling party and the opposition can’t come to an agreement. I see major conflicts in Parliament in the next 5 years. Unless the PPP tries to convince the AFC to collate with them and the AFC agrees then the PPP will have total control and will make all the decisions without conflict. I believe that the AFC will eventually join the PPP just to get in on the PERKS (free trips to exotic locations and lots of tax payers cash to spend at their disposal). Politricks wins again and Guyanese get the salve-whip across their backs to work harder and pay tax.
THESE NEXT 4 YEARS WILL MAKE THE 28 YEARS & THE 18+ YEARS LOOK LIKE JOKE, REMIND ME AGAIN HOW OLD IS RAMOUTAR?
AND REALLY DOES HE REALY SEE HIMSELF AS A SERVANT OF THE PEOPLE?
LETS MAKE A WILD GUESS OF WHAT HIS INTENTIONS WOULD BE LIKE, JUDGING ON HIS TRACK RECORD OF HIS SUPPORT TO MR CHAMPION OF THE EARTH.
HOW CAN PEOPLE WHO SAW WITH THEIR OWN EYES, THE BRUTE DICTATORSHIP RULE OF MR CHAMPION OF THE DIRT, OVER THE YEARS WITH RAMOUTAR RIGHT BY HIS SIDE (OF COURSE WITH HIS TAIL BETWEEN HIS LEGS), STILL VOTE FOR CHANGE IN RAMOUTAR?
YOUR TIME NOW RAMOUTAR! START MAKING PREPARATIONS FOR YOUR MANSION WHILE THE VAST MAJORITY OF GUYANESE CONTINUE TO STRUGGLE!
YOU SAID YOU WERE INSPIRED BY CHEDDIE– WHAT A JOKE!
MAY YOUR SOUL REST IN PEACE DR JAGAN.
woke up? what are you? still sleeping? the PPP is still in Power?
Both the APNU & AFC knows of the atrocities commited by the PPP/C againt Guyanese. This should be the the Main reason for a Coalition.
Please let his happen!
Can’t the AFC and APNU form a coalition ? is that legally possible?
Can’t happen my friend. The PPP made sure they would not be bitten twice and made shy once. The constitution was amended to ensure coalation by minority parties never happens again.
Thank God for that, or we might have seen history repeat itself, PNC and UF coalition, and we all know what happened after. Kudos to the AFC for not trusting the APNU. I would have been in favour of AFC winning.
These people who DO NOT know Guyana’s history, mouth all kinds of stuff. I figure it makes then feel good. If only they know their degree of foolishness.
Congratulations! To not only president elect Donald Ramotar but also all the contesting parties. I think, that it is a good day since there is a minority government. Minority government opens opportunities for dialogue among opposition parties albeit it can interfere with progress. I hope that parliament will be a wonderful and exciting playing field for the government as well as the opposition parties. I wish that the politicians learn to forget petty differences and place the country first rather than themselves. I do not live in Guyana any more but I still call it my home. I wish my country the very best and hope that the lives of Guyanese will be enriched in the days and years to come.
We hope and pray. I want to see a mature and proactive opposition in Guyana. Maybe that will change the ruling party.
I predicted this knowing the way racial voting takes place in GT…now we have Ramotar as President and soon a coalition with Ramjattan….
sorry to tell you but the racial voting mostly took place among black voters! the afc was able to split the indian votes thus the reason for ppp not getting a majority!
So so wrong. The racial voting is at the PPP’s benefit. Had it not been so they would not have gotten the Presidency much less a minority govt.
Before making irresponsible statements, why not compare the 2006 and 2011 results and you should understand the reason for the reduction in PPP/C numbers.
APNU and AFC were able to pull more than 8% of the numbers from PPP/C. APNU because of the coalition, JFAL, WPA etc and AFC because of Moses efforts in Region No. 6.
so true you are correct….
Congratulations to the PPP/C for all the restoration that you did to Guyana. May god Bless the Party and its leader so that Guyana will once again be the breadbasket of the Caribbean as it was before the PNC destroyed us with their 28 years of blatant corruption and destruction!!!
God bless Guyana and its People.
I am very much disturbed by the results of the Election. I am not a Citizen of Guyana anymore, but still considers Guyana my home. I love traveling back on vacations, but it hurts to go there and spend my hard earn dollars, in a country where the government don’t take care of it’s people! they are all for them selves, they steals from poor people to full their pockets, build huge houses, purchase several vehicles, and the extorting goes on and on. Putting family and friends in high position, business, and abandoning the citizens. Don’t forget the drug ring, sooner or later the goose will get loose, they might turn around and start killing one another…Guyana is a third world country, why it took 3 days to present the final outcome of the general election???
Do u think it will be better under APNU or AFC?
Take a look at the country in which you live. See how it compares with Guyana. Guyana is not perfect. Citizenry has nothing to do with love for home. I have not heard of paradise nor seen it on Earth. So I know that YOU ARE NOT in paradise. Not everything is wrong with Guyana and much of what you said is parrotting as the people who preach what you parrotted, cannot prove any of the above.
man is u crazy…in america if the police brutalize u..u can sue and more likely to be compensated… in guyana..u just get brutalized…in america the president have to show accountability for his spending…in guyana the president spends with no accountability and nothin to show except for what he kept for himself….guyana sucks imm glad i aint a guyanese…cause theres no hope for that country….when my pop ask me if i want to go visit ..my reply is always a hell-no…i rather visit another caribbean country cause almost every other carribbean country is better than down there
it sems that guyanese have finally grown up at election time! kudos to all guyanese!
Nicely now – Guyanese are NOT juvenile.
I just have two small points. First, it is too neat, PPP32,APNU and AFC 33. A difference of ONE seat. Any buying out of one AFC or APNU seat and the PPP gets to do what it wants. Second point, what is the vote breakdown in Geogetown?
All congrats go to AFC, in particular Moses Nagamootoo. Without him we all know what the situation would be right now. Also, Congrats to David Granger, for managing to reform a party that could seriously challenge the PPP. Your first victory, shared with Ramjattan and Trotman , is in denying a PPP 51%. THAT IS ENOUGH FOR MUCH CELEBRATION TONIGHT. I hope that you maintain the struggle and build up this new following during the next five years.
Congrats to the first President of Guyana from Essequibo, I hope he will do for all Guyana, but a little more for Essequibo.
Because of the break down in seats Guyana will be a better place than before, Donold will have to enlist the support of both opposition parties. This is good, no more cry foul, all sholud be aboard.
Good luck Donald on your new post as President of the Cooperative Republic of Guyana. Choose your cabinet wisely, must include APNU and AFC member to bring Guyana forward. I know how Essequibo citizen thinks, and know you are thinking the same.
Congratulation to MR.DONAL RAMOTAR .I do hope the PPP/C learn a lesson from this election and get them self in order for the next one. Pay attention to the people at leas the grass root one and who are supporting the party all the time .Good luck and may you do the best for the people and country .And lock up who have to get lock you know who was talking bullsXXXX on the campaign.
Congratulations to all for a well fought, clean election, but it still remains that the PPP/C is in power at this point in time. Now is the time for the APNU and AFC to join forces and form the government to lead Guyana into a prosperous future. Let Donald Ramotar be president, but without a majority vote in parliament he is just a toothless tiger which he would have been in any case, for if the PPP/C has a majority, he would have been dictated to from behind the scene by you know who, the BIG RAT. Without a coalition there would be no change in the various functionaries and heads of departments. I’m speaking of Ministers, Parliament and Permanent Secretaries, Ambassadors, Charimen of the various Boards etc. We need radical change from the bottom up. We need sweeping changes that will appoint the most capable people in their respective fields. We need change where there will be accountability for each and every action. We need clarification as to where all the money went, and how all these million dollar contracts were approved and given to various cliques. Contracts given to some of the most incompetent people time and again. We need change where all the little HITLERS are brought before the courts and made to pay for all their deeds. We need change where people will not be afraid to speak openly of injustices. We need change where the GPF lives up to its mandate to serve and protect the Guyanese population, and where the Judicial system stops giving criminals slaps on their wrists and then send them back among the population to continue to commit these horrific crimes. We need an end to pedophilia. rape, spousal abuse and all the other injustices. Get these things in order and you would be surprised at the number of qualified competent Guyane who will return home, myself included. However thes things could only be accomplished be a merger now, not by giving them another term in office to have the same nonsense happen again.
We needed racial change from 1964. Who was Prime Minister and then Executive President? What are you speeching about?
congratulation to the pppc let guyana move forward
Can’t believe guyanese calling Barrat Jadeo a dictator…..Shows how much people in Guyana still uneducated
It is not people in Guyana. It is those who stand on the shores of Canada and the USA and cast stones across the Atlantc, at Guyana.
I would to take this opportunity to congratulate all the political parties for vying for the leadership of our nation.
Especially to the Peoples Progressive Party for emerging as the party with the highest number of votes and to the Peoples National Congress as the political party that acquired the second highest number of votes.
Notably also, I commend the Alliance For Change for what I believe has been an excellent display of patriotic courage amidst turbulent political waters.
I ask my Guyanese brothers and sisters at this critical moment to understand clearly that our destiny as a prosperous nation lies in our unity.
You as a nation has expressed your political will and now let us get on with the task at hand.

Thank You Jesus, You know what is best for our country . Hip Hip Hooray. I am moved to tears for this victory .
so the guyana election finally over…hope now that no one party has full power they can work together for the betterment of guyana and live up to the motto,”one people, one nation, one destiny” may God bless guyana with love and unity…a new beginning for Guyana if they want and accept it
If those who do not want to be indoctrinated and reject indoctrination, then life for Guyanese will change for the better. We hate one another too deeply and we are to divided.
From this point on, I have no interest in what happens in Guyana. So you make your bed, so on it you will lie. Have a good life you all.
I think that the 27.1% is a mistake by gecom because the PPP/C WOULD HAVE LOSE SO THEY CLAIM THAT PEOPLE DID NOT COME OUT TO VOTE THAT A LIE FOR THE APNU AND AFFC . THIS TWO PARTY MUST LOOK INTO THAT MY BROTHERS AND SISTERS let us get it right now not later I FEEL PPP/C LOSE THE ELECTION LET THEM GO BACK TO ROB STREET GANG .PEOPLE ARE NOT FOOL TODAY FOR PROMISE THEY WILL HAVE TO PROMISE THEM SELF NO MORE FREE MONEY FOR THEM ANY MORE .
Congrats to you Mr president, now all eyes are upon you to do the right thing for ALL the citizens of our great country Guyana, strive to be the best and most loved president Guyana has ever had,listen to and respect the ideas of Mr Granger and Mr Ramjattan and let us move Guyana forward to a bright future with One people, One nation, And one destiny.
Folks , while some are praising their party, some are still dissappointed, something seems amis, David and Roopnarine not saying anything positive, These were the two most educated candidates in the election and from the news clips some information is not being published in the main stream news papers.
Lets wait and see, remember David call for verification of 105 SOP in south Ruimveldt?
lets wait and see if the people that were talking abt corruption, if they wouldnt help themselves too
Even though i am not a Historian i sincerely believe that Yannabanno may have a trivial understanding as to what occurred from the time the PNC ruled to when PPP took office but can he tell me why PNC at that time chose the Socialist/Dictatorship path? I live in Guyana and i ‘pelt stones’ at corruption, prejudice, crime, lawlessness, vulgarity, racism, exploitation including my neighbors dogs every now and again for rummaging through my garbage. I witness, some if not all, of these malevolent characteristics in Guyanese everyday, everywhere. If any sort of development is to be sought-after the people will have to firstly change the way they think and act. This is only accomplished if the leadership set the example for the citizens to follow. However, I am afraid that this task is truly daunting and perhaps impossible to achieve since Politicians crave power, feast on corruption and savors the bitterness of discrimination. With this ‘Hung Parliament’, i truly hope Guyana will progress and leadership will lead.
