The We Invest In Nationhood (WIN) presidential candidate Azruddin Mohamed is pressing ahead with what has become the most aggressive campaign of this election season, crisscrossing Guyana to meet residents in some of the most remote areas.
Denied air transport, Mohamed has taken to boats and even trekked on foot to reach communities in the hinterland and riverain areas. In recent days, he visited Fort Island in the Essequibo River, Saxacalli, and Matthews Ridge, Region One, where residents welcomed him and his team with what WIN described as “overwhelming support.”
At each stop, Mohamed pledged his party’s backing to neglected communities and urged voters to “end inequality and discrimination” at the polls.
But the trail has not been without controversy. Three days after publicly challenging the People’s Progressive Party (PPP) government to provide evidence of its claim that he visited the Venezuelan Embassy, the administration has yet to produce proof.
“This administration has stooped to squandering state resources just to score political points against me and WIN,” Mohamed declared. “I challenge the Venezuelan Embassy to present any record of my entry or visa application. Show the Guyanese people one shred of evidence.”
He alleged the PPP’s accusations are a distraction from corruption scandals gaining traction on social media and accused the government of compromising Guyana’s sovereignty.
“If backdoor meetings are being had to concoct lies, such deception puts our territorial integrity at risk,” Mohamed warned. “The Ali administration is in bed with the Government of Venezuela — and that presents a looming danger to our sovereignty.”
Urging supporters to remain focused, Mohamed framed September 1 as a decisive moment for Guyana’s future.
“September 1 is not just polling day; it is a turning point in our nation,” he said.
