Guyana Vice President Jagdeo calls for PPP/C and PNCR cooperation

Guyana’s Vice President, Bharrat Jagdeo, has proposed that the People’s Progressive Party/Civic (PPP/C) and the People’s National Congress Reform (PNCR) work together at some level to shape the nation's future. Jagdeo referenced the 2001 constitutional reforms as a precedent for legislative power-sharing, though he noted that a lack of trust previously prevented similar cooperation at the executive level.

Critics have questioned the sincerity of this call for inclusivity, citing recent government actions such as the management of oil revenues without national consensus, the preparation of the national budget without opposition consultation, and the establishment of the Guyana Development Bank without opposition representation on its board. Some observers suggest the proposition may be a political strategy rather than a genuine move toward national unity.
