Congratulations to APNU/AFC, PPP/C must concede

May 15, 2015 Letters

Dear Editor,
Congratulations to APNU/AFC on winning the 2015 election. This marks a major turning point in the history of Guyana. The coalition has succeeded in demonstrating that it was possible to destroy the one historically powerful weapon of the PPP/C that has been at the core of its very existence –  the ability to win general elections.
Coupled with this dramatic change in the direction of Guyanese politics are two telling images that signify the changing times – one, a picture captured in one of the dailies purportedly showing PPP ministerial workers clearing out their offices, and two, a statement by an APNU/AFC supporter in Bartica to the effect that the coalition, not the PPP, represents the true vision of Dr. Cheddi Jagan.
The PPP needs to concede it lost the general election so the incoming victors, David Granger and Moses Nagamootoo, can get on with the business of governing the nation. The fact that a party in government can now accuse the opposition of electoral fraud and then demand a recount makes absolutely no sense whatsoever.
It is expected that the coalition will govern effectively in the interest of all citizens and honor its promises of accountability, transparency and racial equality.
The PPP/C, on the other hand, will not remain the same political entity. The party will have to fall in line with the new political culture that will accompany the change.
The PPP/C, if it is ever going to reemerge as a serious political entity in the future, will have to embark on meaningful ideological, organizational and leadership transformations. Politics in a future Guyana is linked to a familiar landscape – coalition politics is back in style.
