Donald Ramotar does not have a strategy to transform Guyana.

Mar 11, 2015 Letters

Dear Editor,
In reality, politicians end up doing what their characters oblige them to do. The character of Donald Ramotar has always been one who is indecisive, lacks conviction and a world-class vacillator. As the Leader of the PPP, he experimented with ideas that were all conceived under the Jagdeo regime without ever asking the hard questions as to their practicality and relevance to improving the well-being of the Guyanese people.
In 2011, when Khemraj Ramjattan and David Granger reached out to the PPP with an olive branch by asking for the tripartite committee to deliberate on all major developmental and political issues, the hardliners in the PPP led by Dr. Roger Luncheon refused to implement any of the proposals from the majority opposition.
The indecisive Donald Ramotar went along for the ride, thus causing his own political demise. He never exhibited an attitude of a President.
Today, the PPP pitch to voters is ultimately a distillation of its leader’s political and ideological bankruptcy. The difference between decision and compulsion helps clear up what is wrong with Donald Ramotar.
The PPP leader’s ratings have sunk to a pit of awfulness that reduces his decision making to somewhere between ludicrous to gross incompetence. Five more days of Donald Ramotar and the PPP is enough misery for the nation much less five more years. The young people are fully aware of this untenable situation. So this unhappy nation will speak and speak loudly on May 11, 2015.
If the PPP were doing what it ought to be doing for the people, it would have been well primed for power and comfortably ahead in the polls as we speak. They know and I know that as of today the PPP is stuck at 42 percent popularity while the Broad Based Alliance is at 47 percent with 11 percent undecided. It is my conviction even after Babu Jaan; they cannot score the nine percent necessary to be ahead when the results are announced.
So Mr. Ramotar and his compulsion to follow the Jagdeo plan condemn him to failure since 2011. His effort to cobble together enough like-minded voters today by driving a racist campaign with Jagdeo as the lead “cuss bird” will give him a respectable number but it will never be enough to win since his message has little credence with the 20 percent that matters – the “mixed/dougla” people and the first time voters. Game over Donald!
