I saw a few campaigns on YouTube and massive crowds were seen in red while camera angles on the green and blue were focused on the speakers. I figured the lack of crowds were embarrassing.

AI works well if you know how to use it with factual data::

[ Here is a snippet of the feedback:

"The People's Progressive Party/Civic (PPP/C) is projected to win 39 seats in Guyana's 65-seat National Assembly in the September 1, 2025, general election. This would represent a gain of six seats from the party's current 33, providing a more comfortable majority and enabling it to pass legislation without relying on opposition support or facing frequent procedural hurdles. The projection is based on a synthesis of recent polls, expert analyses, and observed trends in voter behavior, including the factors you highlighted: strong PPP/C campaign momentum (e.g., large rally crowds and visible enthusiasm), evidence of voter crossovers from traditional opposition strongholds (particularly among Afro-Guyanese communities), fulfillment of (and exceeding) 2020 manifesto promises through oil-funded investments, gradual erosion of strict race-based voting patterns, and tangible economic gains like increased household net worth via home ownership and vehicle acquisitions."

Well saw some videos on social media with bus loads of people from Bangladesh, India and other Commonwealth Countries turning up to vote at the various polling stations.

Lol you serious bruh?

Every Guyanese know those rally crowds were staged... you should have mentioned the number of busses transporting people from all over the country just to make the crowd look impressive.

Here's the link to GECOM official website with the SOPs

So far 1985 out of 2790 SOPs uploaded.

Link

Based on what's shown so far it looks like the turnout was lower than expected in all areas.

- As usual PPP is running away with Region 6...
- Sanction man looks like he created history.. on his way to winning Region 10
- Region 4 will be interesting... a three way race between the three main parties.

As I said, it is looking like a minority Government.

We shall see but it look a majority for the PPP/C with the WIN party as official opposition.

How can you guys actually vote for a sanctioned individual? Shocking, and I feel bad for Norton

The PPP a week ago were talking about winning 40 seats in the election. The last 3 elections they won 32 seats in 2011 while APNU won 26 and AFC 7. In 2015 APNU/AFC won 33 and PPP won 32 and in 2020 PPP won 33
Yesterday evening Jagdeo said “ The party with the most votes wins the Presidency”
Using the brain that you were given it is obvious why he said that!!!!
It is clear that WIN has eroded the support of APNU in regions 4&10,PPP in regions 1,6&7 and AFC in 4.
I fail to see how the PPP could get an absolute majority in this election.

Based on numbers from the last elections PPP won Regions 1, 7 and 8. From the the SOP released to date its looking like WIN will take those regions.

Looks like WIN gone with Region 10 too.

The ones that look interesting so far are Regions 2 and 5... I'm surprised at the number of votes WIN is getting in those two regions.

I really don't see how they're getting the majority Govt... given the results of the previous elections and this one to date. But anything is possible, this is Guyana after all lol

Borat seh: Minority Government

I was going thru the SOPs, WIN has made inroads into both PPP and APNU, more so APNU. Looks like PPP will squeeze thru though.
