He has not been politically active nor does he have a base in any section of the Guyanese population. Additionally, he will not bring any Afro-Guyanese votes to the PPP/C. Jagdeo needs to think out of the box, if that is possible for him. Now that Shuman is thinking of going to APNU, he needs to have a female Amerindian to lock in the Amerindian vote to take the PPP/C over the top. It is unlikely that he will get much Afro-Guyanese support in the elections. To be inclusive, he can then announce and bring in Afro-Guyanese in the VP and ministerial positions and then reaching out to APNU supporters after the election.
I doubt the PPP/BJ have a War Room where they discuss strategy. Even if they do, seems Jagdeo still do as Jagdeo pleases.
I agree, catering to the Afros brings marginal, if any, benefits. Harper never made a difference!
I don't thing Harper could have overcome the 'vote like a boss' campaign. That said, it didn't take long for those voters to realize that they actually voted for the ass.
