Guyana’s re-elected Irfaan Ali sets out five-year plan
Recently, the electoral pattern across Latin America and the Caribbean has been for incumbent governments to be thrown out by voters angered by poor economic performance. In Guyana, President Irfaan Ali of the People’s Progressive Party/Civic (PPP/C) has bucked the trend: in polls on 1 September, he was re-elected to serve another five-year term. The fact that Guyana is currently one of the world’s fastest-growing economies may explain his resilience.
