HOW are the people in Region 10 reacting to the patent foolishness, comical statement, and incredible ignorance of Sharma Solomon from Linden who will now represent Region 10 in Parliament on behalf of APNU?
There is no question that when you look at both the asininity and comicality coming out of the APNU world, this party will become an object of scorn and derision as the years go by.
If they maintain the incredible nonsense they have been spouting since the 2025 election results, the PNC will just wither away and die before 2030.
A handful keeping the faith in 2030 will contest the election, but my prediction is that the PPP and maybe three other parties will cause the complete disappearance of the PNC from the electoral scene in 2030.
It has been non-stop comedy by the PNC since the Adriana Younge tragedy. Dexter Todd started the circus by pointing to a group of secret investigators in Guyana, researching the death of Ms. Younge.
They that cannot be known to the nation and obviously cannot reveal their identity to the police and eyewitnesses because then their identities will be known. I can only assume that when these investigators engage the police, they will have to wear bags over their faces.
Todd was at it again when acting on behalf of the PNC leader, Aubrey Norton, signalled his attention to sue businessman, Ameir Ahmad for libel over the following words published by Ahmad that went like this: “People don’t know but me and Norton are alright.”
I point to my Monday and Tuesday columns in which I highlighted unbelievable stupidities by Norton and David Hinds about election rigging in 2025.
Let’s turn to Sharma Solomon. This is the man who as Mayor emulated his leader, Aubrey Norton and refused to shake the hand of the President. That silly, moronic display of misplaced bravado cost both Norton and Solomon dearly. Embarrassed at their asinine puerilities, Region 10 rejected both Norton and Solomon who are sons of Linden.
In a recent interview, Solomon said that the 2025 election brought no harm to the APNU. In 2020, APNU (with AFC) got 19,169 votes. In 2025, APNU got 5,334 ballots. Linden has been a bastion of PNCism since the past 100 years, wining every election in Region 10 from 1957 to 2020.
According to Canadian researcher, Ron Cheong, APNU did not secure any polling division while WIN got 35 and PPP seven. Yet amidst this devastation, Solomon said there was no damage to the PNC.
But this is only part of the colossal nonsense Solomon displayed. In the interview, he was in overdrive mode about the failure of the PPP to overtake the PNC in Linden.
This is unlimited ignorance. The point is that the PNC was damaged beyond recognition in Linden. Whether it was by the PPP, PRC, PXC, PZC, or whatever P you want to use, it was decapitated in Linden.
What is shameful and this is what makes Solomon look stupid, is that the PNC was derailed in Region 10 by a party led by an Indian Muslim man who formed his entity three months before the election and a leader that can hardly express himself properly.
It is in this context, Solomon’s statement is repugnant nonsense. In Region 10, WIN got 10,458 ballots, double the take of the PNC. This is in the traditional stronghold of the PNC.
For all his dismissal of the PPP being unable to displace the PNC in Region 10, the PNC got a mere 1,000 votes more than the PPP which picked up 4,260. Against these graphic statistics, Solomon says no harm came to the PNC in the 2025 election.
Solomon told his interviewer that despite the heavy state spending and restriction by the state media the PPP did not win Region 10. Solomon went on and on about the inability of the PPP to defeat the PNC in Region 10. If you come from another planet, and you watch or listen to Solomon, you would think that it was a two-way contest and the PPP lost.
Solomon quietly evaded any discussion of what WIN did to the PNC in Region 10. Solomon avoided having to talk about a newcomer that will now be in charge of the Region 10 Council that was in the hands of the PNC since Independence. This man failed to tell the nation why an absurdity like Azruddin Mohamed and an absurdity like WIN dislodged the PNC in Region 10.
Can one interpret the incredible nonsense of Solomon as an insult to the African population in general and Africans in Region 10? The answer is a resounding yes. With people like Norton, Hinds and Solomon, APNU will die sooner than later.
