Around the Regions

Bringing the Regions to you

Amna singing praises Of her dark horse

Region 4 Regional Chairman, Daniel Seeram

FIRST, SHE BELIEVED IN HER PITBULL TO WIN REELECTION AS LEADER OF
HER PARTY. NOW AMNA ALLY IS SINGING THE PRAISES OF HER DARK HORSE
to stay loyal to her 64-year-old party.
Ally, General Secretary (GS) of the opposition Peoples National Congress (PNC), is no church
mouse herself and when www.aroundtheregions.com questioned her on controversies swirling
around Region Four Chairman, former soldier, Daniel Seeram, she became mulish in her
defence.
“Daniel Seeram is a PNC and he will remain a PNC,” Ally declared when told of information
that Seeram is among a number of party members allegedly planning to rat on the popular
political bastion in Guyana.
Then she invoked race to show that despite Seeram’s ethnicity, the ex-soldier has no appetite for
monkey business.
“Not everyone who has straight hair like me (referring to her East Indian ancestry) is a PPP or
can be won as a PPP,” referring to the ruling Peoples Progressive Party.
“I want you to know that the PNC believes in Daniel Seeram as he is firm and has nowhere to
go,” Ally said confidently.
The ruling party, Ally said, has not been sheepish in its pursuits to lure some PNC members in
the Regional Democratic Council (RDC) to switch loyalties “as they continue to lose support for
their eight-month-old administration”.
So, Ally said she wouldn’t sweat over rumours of the former Guyana Defence Force (GDF)
soldier becoming a snake.

“I don’t know about crossing the floor or swimming river. Just because he is an (East) Indian, all
sort of things is being peddled,” Ally said.
The PPP and the PNC have been like hound dogs in a decades-long political tussle for control of
Demerara/Mahaica (Region Four) the most-populated of the 10 Administrative Regions making
up the 216,00 Km 2 former British colony comprising multiple racial groupings.
“The PPP has never won Region Four and they will never win Region Four,” GS Ally
emphasised.
For some PNC Councillors, Seeram has become, virtually, a puppet of Mr. Deoraj Nauth, a RDC
member of the ruling PPP/C.
Pressed further on whether she thinks that other APNU+AFC Councillors may be contemplating
switching loyalties to PPP, Ally though not 100 percent sure, nevertheless feels the team are
birds of a feather.
“I cannot speak for individuals but I don’t believe that is so,” Ally stated confidently.
