Let's not forget Burnham outwitted D'Guiar and the Portuguese as well.
D'Aguiar opted out of the coalition when he got wind of Burnham illegally rigging the voting in '68. The Portuguese responded by selling out their assets and moving to Toronto (mostly after nationalization in the early 70's), leaving Burnham and his followers to implode, so who really was outwitted?

D'Aguiar didn't opt out of the coalition. He was kicked out. Chief is right, the Portuguese were outwitted. They thought they would get political power and rights under the PNC and that never happened. They did pack up and run away to Canada leaving successful businesses and homes behind. Many never returned to their homes in Nabaclis, Belfield, Victoria, and parts of the Essequibo among other places which were considered Portuguese communities.
