GUYANA - In democracies, elections serve as both closure and renewal. They close the chapter of campaign season months of debates, promises, and mobilization and open the door to a new mandate.
That mandate, expressed through the ballot box, must be respected by all who participate in the democratic process. Our 2025 elections sent a clear and resounding message. President Irfaan Ali and his party won decisively, capturing eight of the ten regions, including territories once deemed untouchable by the opposition. This was not a fluke. It was the product of promises kept, development delivered, and a vision of unity that resonated across the country. For the opposition, disbelief has been swift. To lose not only nationally but in historic strongholds such as Regions Four and Ten was unexpected and unprecedented. The calls for recounts, while understandable within procedure, cannot mask reality: the outcome quite frankly is settled. The people of Guyana have spoken. (inewsguyana)
