TWO respected Muslim scholars from Region Two, Shaykh Faoud Mohamed and Moulana Yunus McLennan, have publicly endorsed President Dr. Mohamed Irfaan Ali for a second term in office, citing his vision, dedication, and commitment to serving all Guyanese.

Speaking from the Anna Regina Masjid on Sunday, both leaders emphasised that their endorsement was rooted in values and principles rather than political divisions.
In a joint message, Shaykh Faoud Mohamed expressed that President Ali has proven himself during his first term as “a leader with a clear vision, always striving to serve the best interests of his

people”. He described the Head of State as “the people’s president”, known for listening to citizens’ concerns and working tirelessly to improve their lives.
Quoting the Qur’an, the religious leader said: “Is the reward for good anything but good? Dr. Ali’s actions and sincerity in governance reflect the very principles of service and leadership valued in Islam.”

Yunus McLennan echoed similar sentiments, urging voters to look beyond race, and instead focus on leadership qualities that unite the nation. “We must respect the opinions of all citizens and their political choices, fostering an environment of understanding and collaboration,” he said.

Both scholars called on citizens to support President Ali in the upcoming elections, expressing confidence that his continued leadership would keep Guyana on the path of progress and prosperity.
