Endorsements Mean Nothing but the Stakes Couldn’t Be Higher

In Guyana’s noisy political theatre, endorsements are the latest distraction masquerading as momentum. One figure defects, another makes a grand announcement, and the media lights up. But let’s be honest—political endorsements in Guyana mean next to nothing.

In a country where voters remain fiercely loyal to party lines, not personalities, this wave of so-called endorsements is little more than background noise. What it really signals is desperation, particularly from the People’s Progressive Party (PPP), which is scrambling to shore up its image ahead of the 2025 Elections.

Fear Is No Longer Working – The PPP Is Running Out of Time

With President Irfaan Ali’s approval rating languishing below 30 percent, the PPP knows it is in trouble. Despite presiding over the world’s fastest-growing economy, thanks to a surge in oil revenues, the government has failed to translate prosperity into progress.

More than half the population still lives in poverty, child malnutrition is alarmingly high, and corruption and racial discrimination are as rampant as ever. Even long-time PPP supporters now find themselves excluded and disillusioned, left behind in an economy that’s supposed to be booming.

This is why the PPP is busy courting high-profile figures from the opposition. It’s a public relations game designed to mask a deeper truth: they are polling low, and they know it.

But while these endorsements may not swing votes, they do serve a quieter purpose. They demoralise. They plant seeds of doubt, breed disunity, and sap the energy of supporters on the other side. This is where the Opposition—especially the People’s National Congress (PNC) and the Alliance For Change (AFC)—needs to pay close attention.

Dismissing these endorsements as irrelevant would be a mistake. They carry psychological weight in a system that thrives on public perception. The Opposition’s response must go beyond press conferences. They must inspire confidence, project cohesion, and decide—urgently—whether they will coalesce into a united front or stumble into the election fragmented and unprepared.

The longer they wait, the more ground they cede. The time for strategy meetings and internal wrangling is over. It’s time to hit the campaign trail, rally the base, and take their message to the streets.

Guyana doesn’t need more endorsements. It needs leadership. Honest, courageous and ready to fight for a fairer future. What the country truly demands is robust politics on both sides and, even more urgently, a vigilant and fearless Opposition when the stakes are so high and so many in the society are being left behind.

Team Mohamed has already hit the ground and, from all appearances, is in full campaign mode—a reality the traditional parties cannot afford to ignore. Whether the main Opposition can rise to that moment remains to be seen. But time is running out.
