Kwayana advocated partition of Guyana for which he was expelled
Dear Editor,
Kaieteur News – Kindly allow me to respond to Dr. David Hind’s letter of 12-19-21 titled “The record shows that Eusi Kwayana was expelled from the PNC in 1961”. Dr. Hinds neglected to explain why Mr.Eusi Kwayana was expelled. Sidney King as he was known then advocated the partition of Guyana while he was PNC General Secretary. Additionally, Mr. Forbes Burnham’s PNC had agreed that whichever party won the 1961 elections would be entitled to lead British Guiana to independence. Mr. Kwayana was adamantly opposed to the PPP leading Guyana to independence as the PPP was projected to win the 1961 elections.
After the PPP won the 1961 elections, the PNC reneged on its election promise to support whichever party won the 1961 elections to lead Guyana to independence. Mr. Kwayana did not want to live under a PPP/C administered government of Guyana. He currently lives in the USA.
Mr. Kwayana had no qualms in actively campaigning for the PNC during the first rigged 1968 elections according to Dr. Hinds.
Respectfully,
Vassan Ramracha
