Good point CaribJ.

 

 

Guyana needs to move away from the personality cult.  This election isn't just about David and Moses.  This is about huge swathes of Guyanese who want to see the end of the PPP.  They also want to see the end of monoracial domination of governance as just under 60 years of this hasn't augured well for Guyana.

 

Within the PNC there are many factions.  To their credit they have subsumed their normal distrust of Granger to band together to ensure that APNU is united.  If Vanessa K, Solomon, and the other,s who don't like Granger, decided to fold their arms and not helped then nothing would happen.

 

This isn't to negate the role that Moses is playing by being a familiar INDIAN face, therefore enabling the PPP vote to be split.  This isn't to negate the fact that a split PPP vote motivates many PNC supporters who had lost hope of an APNU dominated coalition from winning.

 

But Moses isn't doing this on his own!

 

In fact it seems obvious that Moses is benefitting from an alliance with a large party which has the infrastructure to organize all those campaign events.  It seems obvious that the AFC doesn't have this structure in place to do it on its own.

 

WHEN the coalition wins, the PPP will be off the table, as they head off some where to sulk, lick their wounds and ponder life of not being in gov't.  For a short period the APNU AFC will enjoy a honey moon.

 

What the Moses cultists will need to understand is that once the election is over Moses would have served its purpose and the various factions will then start positioning themselves to get what ever it is they want. 

 

Moses will not part the seas because even David couldn't slay the giant among those within the PNC who don't like him.

 

Moses will have to learn how to deal with the PNC, which is a whole different animal from the PPP.  He isn't accustomed to the type of aggressive challenge of leadership which is typical of every PNC convention.  He will have to learn how to deal with an Afro Guyanese way of operating, as they will dominate the coalition, like it or not.  And they will need to get the sense that their 22 years of deprivation has ended.

 

How will Moses reconcile this fact with his mainly Indian following, who might want to see the status quo remain, just without the obscene PPP greed.  Here we see Jay and others claiming that the PPP isn't racist, and that blacks "control" Guyana.  Few Afro Guyanese will buy into that line of thinking.

 

I suggest that people focus on institution building and less on the personality cult, or the APNU AFC coalition will not even last to the LGE.
