What is all the fuss about?
Soldiers are part of the electorate and will vote.
President Jagdeo has simply appealed to soldiers to vote for the PPP/C.
Unlike PNC presidents Burnham and Hoyte, President Jagdeo has not commanded the army to swear loyalty to himself and the PPP/C.
He has not ordered the PPP/C flag to be flown at Camp Ayanganna and other army bases as the PNC flag used to be flown in times past.
What is really unprecedented is the fact that a top ex-army officer is contesting general elections in Guyana as presidential candidate of a political party.
