Political activist, Quincy Anderson has described Guyana’s Opposition as the most unorthodox in the world, citing a poor performance during the 2025 National Budget debates.
In a letter to the editor, Anderson commended the ruling People’s Progressive Party Civic (PPP/C) government for drafting and presenting a well-structured budget that reflects and promotes economic growth, social welfare, and sustainability.
“The budget presented clearly exhibits a balance of expenditures while ensuring sustainable development that will benefit all Guyanese,” Anderson posited.
He, however, called out the Opposition for not making a single objection that the Guyanese people could take seriously.
“Just to name a few, the opposition leader Mr. Norton was busy bragging about how he’s proud and unapologetic about the period when his party was in power and had a banned essential food item another laughable moment is when M.P Sinclair said he couldn’t support the budget because he hasn’t received his 100k cash grant yet.”
The political activist also noted that the Opposition’s calls for biometrics in the upcoming elections are “ridiculous” and a misleading claim.
He questioned why, when the APNU+AFC was in government from 2015 to 2020, they did not implement this system since they now describe it as a “transparent and efficient” process.
“Why is all of a sudden the opposition displaying a biometrics tantrum and trying to mislead the Guyanese people that biometrics is the best method for elections? I’m not a specialist in biometrics technology. However, I’ve done some research in regard to biometrics voting and manual voting, and here is my two cents understanding of both methods.”
Anderson opined that he doesn’t see the need for biometrics voting in Guyana at this point and called on the Opposition to stop throwing “tantrums” over it.
