Vice President Bharrat Jagdeo has proposed increased political collaboration between Guyana’s ruling People’s Progressive Party/Civic (PPP/C) and the opposition People’s National Congress Reform (PNCR). During a memorial for former Deputy Prime Minister Robert Corbin, Jagdeo suggested that dialogue is necessary to address national socio-economic challenges, citing the 2001 constitutional reforms as a precedent for legislative power-sharing.

The PNCR has rejected these overtures, dismissing them as “ceremonial political rhetoric” and asserting that the party remains committed to unseating the current government. Critics and observers have further questioned the sincerity of the proposal, pointing to recent government actions—such as the management of oil revenues and the establishment of the Guyana Development Bank—conducted without opposition consultation or representation.
