I am wondering how they will create a "balanced" ticket to appeal to Afros, Indos and Amerindians

The PPP will do what the PPP has to do.

The PPP Presidential canditate need to be a Afro , for any appeal outside of PPP Indians supporters to grow its party  base.

PPP is seen as a Indian base party, similarly to PNC as. AFRO base party . PPP ignore their grass root while in government and did more for Afro hoping to win them over and it did not work. 

Currently, Indians are suppress and discriminate against with APNU having a AFRO President. Indians have nothing to loose by putting a AFRO President outside of party base - they will feel a sense of security and it will be a win win for all race in Guyana. 

I believe the ABC country will throw their support with PPP if they make this move.

So the ABC countries will only support a party headed by an Afro person?

No way, An Indo Jagdeo buss their backside at LGE. I support an Afro PM with a diverse list of candidates like the PPP presented at LGE. That is the success formula.

Why dont ABC countries tell Congress Place to put forward an Indo PNC Presdiential candidate ?

That would be a revolutionary strategy because it has never boon done.

The PPP base (like the PNC) will be secured. 

However, that person cannot be a Harper-like, unknown, perceived "uncle tom", but someone with credibility among Afros (though the majority will still support the PNC, given the race divide).

The question is : is the PPP willing to break from the past, and will the CC accept such a change?

Jagdeo cannot be seen as if he is pulling the strings....

The ABC are still nervous about the PPP, given its ideology, history and "anti-capitalist" philosophy, but a more democratize PPP will send a different signal to the ABCs.

Knucklehead,

Listen carefully,

I am fully aware...its called "satirical sarcasm"...its meaning is obviously over both of your heads...maybe some of your esteemed friends checking this site for second hand research materials about Guyana can explain this to you.

"FYI, this is an open board and ANYONE can reply to ANY post. Therefore, if anyone decides to call you a shit-head, only the murderator can say its not allowed."   "

...for the record...I have a limit to how far I would go..."knucklehead" at best ...I have never used that S word (yours) or V word (above) in any of my posts to describe anyone.

Here in Guyana, I have heard lots of people calling her by that name after her comments about giving work only to PNC members. By lots, I mean over twenty and less than fifty. Have cut back on my travel because of tge Christmas season.

My opinion regarding leadership candidate is that the PPP will go with an Indo-Guyanese from the CC, most likely Frank Anthony because he has lots of support and not closely allied to Jagdeo. Nandlall has political baggage, including his telephone call and now law book fiasco. Also, Frank Anthony has no major political baggage. An outsider will be viewed as a puppet  of Jagdeo and might not bring in the “independent votes that the PPP need to go over the top. I do not see them having an Afro-Guyanese presidential candidate because it opens the possibility that the A section of the PPP base will not be pleased, switch support to the AFC and thus the presidency to the PNC. In addition to the reason just listed is added the “Uncle Tom” label and that their last Vp candidate seemed to not have had an impact. (My personal opinion based on conversations)

The VP candidate might be a female Amerindian because she will address the critical need for the crucial and highly contested Amerindian votes and also to bring a female into the higher echelons of power and for the female vote. - My opinion

Does it really matter?  I think the PPP will put together a strong ticket and BJ will be the man behind the scene.  If the APNU/PNC does not turn the tide, they will lose in 2020.

Panthress Volda's "apartheid" comment has certainly done harm as not only Indians were in the cross-hairs, but all other who don't "look like she!"  Whatever BJ may and said or how construed pales in comparison to her rant!  And that ain't going away as long as she has national prominence.

Tola, I think Vish is Mr. Vulga. He must have "dis hidden ting" for only "PNC members ah me frenno dem". He needs to rub blackapt on his face and visit the hospitals and dispensaries to scare the little children so they can drink their castor oil.
He lucky I did not use the "V" instead of the "G". Abie cane cuttah family can be downright brutal.

Another matter of concern where we ignorantly ignore the salient features that would make for a good selecting process and focus on how well we can preserve patterns of behaviors that has kept us trapped in ideological stasis and ethnic rivalry that could one day blossom into all out war given that the stakes are higher with vast amount of money coming into the mix. We have lost all concern with nationalism or a focus on the raison d'êtr that makes us a transitional democratic society. 

The PPP and what they do in our society concerns us and not simply the PPP party and its ideologues. We would be wise to inform them that democratic centralism that actualizes "oldfogery" and  its attendant petrified reasoning structure has long lost its appeal. Why should 35 ( actually 15) people get to chose who will lead a party and most likely lead the nation?

The world is a different place in the era of Trump. With him we see the loss of national centering in the US that we are accustomed to have as a buttress to many issues ranging from health research, emergency aid to nations in crisis and a bastion for traditional western democratic concerns, His insular, alt right nationalism has left the world leaderless and this vacuum predicates all sorts of destabilizing eventualities like we see presently in France as a leaderless protest movement threatens to tear down established structures. Least you miss it there is a growing sense of gloom and disconnect with people and their society.

The PPP and the PNC for that matter, need to be cognizant of this. In the urgency to reconcile our people and rescue us from the clutches of nihilism and lack of sense of being connected to others in the society there is a need to break with the past. The recent tiff with Ms Lawrence is what I speak of here. Lets not fool ourselves she alone is in the wrong. In our hearts she is all of us. It is time to select from among our ranks individuals who are located in this generation, the young and the vibrant, and the creative and the hopeful even if they are less tempered and lacking in experience. They are the open minded among us and can restructure our love for country and each other. They are less invested in ethnicity, political pedagogy and naturally oriented to look to the future. 

We need hope, innovation, and a difference from what have been our stultifying lot; we need new blood. Jagdeo and those representing the archetypes of the past must step back. Lacking that we are heading for ethnic war as oil wealth reveals the naked underbelly of our long standing low level internecine ethnic war that has been seething since the origination of the state. We need to be a people. Only the young can make us a people.

Leave the political parties select their candidates and let the Guyanese people exercise their constitutional right. They will have to live or die with their decisions.

Constitutional rights or democratic expression has no place in the PPP selecting mechanism. They are of the old world order where the notion of a vanguard party populated by the political cognoscenti who had experienced in the works of the party  ( not necessarily among the people) do the selecting. It is the Leninist creed formulated in the third communist congress to which they regress for their selecting process. It is 1921 thinking and bears no resemblance or reflection on thought and thinking in the 21st century. 

The primary season is coming in the US and one can see on the democratic side potential candidates emerging like my class mate Ms Kamla Harris and also Bero O' Rourke. How alien is this view to the 1921 communist era where the suffocating and creatively crippling  anti democratic process  that the PPP clings to! These old fogies are selecting the potential President by diktat.   

Here’s to the PNC selection process that made Volda, Top Dog.

I do not see them having an Afro-Guyanese presidential candidate because it opens the possibility that the A section of the PPP base will not be pleased, switch support to the AFC and thus the presidency to the PNC. In addition to the reason just listed is added the “Uncle Tom” label and that their last Vp candidate seemed to not have had an impact. (My personal opinion based on conversations)

The VP candidate might be a female Amerindian because she will address the critical need for the crucial and highly contested Amerindian votes and also to bring a female into the higher echelons of power and for the female vote. - My opinion

So you advocating an Anthony/Sukhai ticket?  She definitely has the fire and aptitude to be there and a potent ticket!

I hope Panthress Volda wins the PNC race!  Just what the doctor ordered for the PPP come 2020!
