The PPP lost by less than 5000 votes in 2015. They will get that back and more from former AFC Indian supporters, even if Lenox Shuman pulls Amerindian votes from the PPP. The PNC needs about 20,000 votes that went for the AFC in 2015 to take them over the line.
Those ballots are not there, plus Shuman may steal some Amerindian votes from the PNC. The election result is a nightmare facing the PNC.
Freddie may be off with his assumption.

Kissoon! Give it a break will you!! Nothing is ever guaranteed in this world but you are oversimplifying the situation. You are overlooking four factors.
(1) The coalition is in power and they are in a position to do things that will win votes in the next five months.
(2) Things that could wound the PPP could come to light and/or be highlighted in the next five months. Things that happened while they were in office. I suspect that a lot is going on behind the scenes right now.(3) The PPP candidate is not exactly a commanding figure who inspires confidence.
(4) The AFC has much life left in it and could recover in the coming months if the more forceful Ramjattan is the running mate, never mind if his former fellow villagers don't vote for him.
Its a long day Kissoon and the road ahead is a long way.
Good, let it be!
