Dear Editor,
THE 2025 elections didn’t just beat the PNC–it humiliated them. Let’s call it what it is: Guyanese flat-out rejected their stale, race-baiting politics.
David Hinds, Coretta McDonald, Dexter Todd–they thought they were clever, slipping in “our people” rhetoric at rallies. But everybody knows what “our” means. And guess what? Voters—especially the young ones—laughed it off and walked straight to the PPP and WIN.

More than a quarter of voters were first-timers, and they don’t care about your tribal talk; they don’t want speeches about “our people,”they want a country that moves forward together. The PNC completely missed that and ended up choking on their own message.
And Aubrey Norton? Oh boy. He’s the poster child for weak leadership. Remember Mon Repos, when Indo-Guyanese businesses were under siege? He said nothing. Dead silence. And now he

wonders why Indo-Guyanese turned their backs on him? Aubrey, leadership isn’t hiding when your supporters are wrong—it’s standing up and showing you have a spine. Instead, you played possum. And voters remembered.
Meanwhile, President Irfaan Ali and the PPP just kept doing what wins elections: talking to everybody; reaching across the divide; building a big tent. That’s why the PPP crushed the PNC in their own backyards.

The PNC can cry, scream “rigging,” or sulk all they want—but the truth is brutal: Guyana is moving on, and they’re stuck in the past. David Hinds and his gang of race-card campaigners better get the memo: Guyanese aren’t buying it anymore. Keep singing that same old tune, and you’ll stay a sideshow.

So here it is, plain and simple: Aubrey, you blew it. Your racist undertones, your weak leadership, your silence when it mattered—all of it sank you. The PPP and WIN didn’t just win—they buried you.
Wake up and smell the coffee, Aubrey. It’s another five years of PPP—and you’ll be watching from the sidelines, whining.
Yours truly,
Dr Devanand Bhagwan
