Firstly, the sham Civic component can be dropped and it will be easier to write PPP instead of PPP/C.

 

There are a few leaders who will vamoose to other lands and others will face the tune of investigative commissions.

 

What this means is that the yolk of Jagdeo - the cuss-down man who was single-handedly responsible for the PPP/C's drop in voters in the last two elections - will be lifted. Maybe, just maybe, what rising star Khemraj Ramjattan called for when he was banished from the PPP - removing all references to Marxism-Lenninism - will be gone. The PPP needs to come in to the 21st century and embrace social media and digital technologies. With this openness and light shed on their party activities, the clique-ism will be history. We can then see bright minds in the party.

 

Really, when I was calling for a re-branding of the PNC, it was for a marketing purposes to pry Indians loose from this notion of blackman bad. [Moses's bold move in a sense made this moot and his coalition idea was tantamount to a re-branding....so there, Dolly Hassan's point was vindicated]. Now the PPP needs to re-brand itself from the thieving, corrupt image that Jagdeo slapped on it to one where the public can trust it.

 

Transparency, transparency, transparency....respect for Guyanese intelligence....that's all. Our ingenuity and smarts  will build the rest (Caribny's institutions, private investment, domestic and foreign, technology transfers, etc.).

*Excellent post! Not much to add.

 

* Listen! Despite all their flaws and shortcomings and roguishness---the PPP just barely lost this election---they lost by less than 5K votes.

 

* There are many factors that contributed to the PPP losing this close election: All of Guyana witnessed the arrogance and nastiness of some PPP politicians---a few weeks before the election Ramsarran was fired for verbally abusing a woman. Nandalall a while back was caught on tape making threats. Everyone saw the ghetto like behavior of Kwame McCoy.

 

* There are thousands of PPP supporters who just about had it with wayward PPP politicians and many chose to follow Moses into APNU/AFC.

 

* Anyway, There are no excuses to be made. This defeat was the best thing that happened to the party. If the PPP ever wants to regain power they must purge the party of all the old, stale faces. New, young leaders must be empowered.

 

* kari's lead post should be pinned on the walls at Freedom house. The PPP would do well to pay heed to his suggestions.
