Guyana new Opposition Leader

“Life In London”
PRISON SERVICE REVEALS AZRUDDIN MOHAMED SPENT OVER NINE HOURS OUTSIDE HOLDING AREA, REJECTS CLAIM OF 23-HOUR CONFINEMENT

The Guyana Prison Service has released details of the daily activities and treatment of remanded Opposition Leader Azruddin Mohamed for Saturday, October 31, and Sunday, November 1, 2026, disputing claims that he was confined to his holding area for 23 hours and 50 minutes.

According to an official statement issued by the Prison Service, Mohamed was briefed on the admission process, prison rules and general expectations upon his arrival on Saturday. He also received visits from family members and attorneys and was permitted to make a telephone call to a relative, which lasted approximately 16 minutes.

The Prison Service further detailed his activities on Sunday, November 1, stating that he was unlocked at 6:00 hours for morning hygiene before receiving breakfast delivered by a relative at 6:40 hours.

During the day, Mohamed participated in a welfare counselling session lasting approximately one hour and 30 minutes, made three telephone calls to family members totalling approximately 29 minutes, and received a two-hour visit from one of his attorneys. Lunch was also delivered by a relative during the visit.

The statement added that Mohamed was permitted afternoon hygiene at 15:35 hours and was examined by a medical officer 20 minutes later, after which he was provided with cough medication.

He was also supplied with reading and writing materials before receiving a visit from Director of Prisons Nicklon Elliot at 19:00 hours. During that visit, Mohamed reportedly indicated that he had no complaints.

The Prison Service said security checks were conducted periodically throughout the night.

Based on its official records, the institution said Mohamed spent approximately nine hours and 20 minutes outside his holding area on Sunday.

It therefore maintained that claims suggesting he was confined to the holding area for “23 hours and 50 minutes” on that day are inconsistent with its documented records.

The Guyana Prison Service said it remains committed to ensuring that Mohamed, like every other person in its custody, is treated in accordance with the law, established prison procedures and applicable standards, while maintaining security and order within the institution.

Optics is everything in politics, it is the most powerful tool of mobilization.

If I am incarcerated and my apologists are peddling a narrative of me being in inhumane conditions, the last thing I want to do is appear looking clean and bourgeoisie with expensive shades and a clean shirt.

I would engineer the worse appearance I can muster in a white ragged jersey with droopy eyes and slumped shoulders while pretending that I cannot walk from the lack of mobility with policemen trying to hold me up as I drag my way up the court steps.

Oh yea, eyes would be rubbed several several times to make it look red from a lack of sleep.

The court appearance must match the narratives.

There is something fucking beautiful about watching a white supremacist loving, Vivek Ramaswamy cheering, hate spewing asshole get kicked in the teeth by the very electorate he thought he could manipulate.

This miserable, venomous, bitter, lonely, vile, vermin has spent his political life feeding on division, racism, resentment and hatred. His entire worldview seems to revolve around making other people miserable because apparently that's the only way he knows how to feel important.

Well, here's some news, asshole. The voters have spoken, and your political relevance has taken a spectacular fucking beating.

As an Indian, sitting thousands of miles away, I want to say THANK YOU to the American people who voted against this garbage. You have done the rest of the world a favour.

America doesn't need another hate-l filled bigot with a microphone and an inflated ego. The world has enough assholes already.

Good riddance. May this be the beginning of a very long, very public political humiliation.

?? GUYANA PROTESTS: WHAT IS REALLY HAPPENING?

The recent demonstrations in Georgetown surrounding opposition leader Azruddin Mohamed’s detention have sparked serious discussions about justice, politics and the future of Guyana.

With ongoing legal proceedings involving the United States, allegations of political targeting and reports of clashes between protesters and police, many Guyanese are asking important questions.

Is this simply the legal system taking its course, or are there broader political concerns?

What role should the United States play in the extradition of peaceful protesters while maintaining public safety?

Regardless of political affiliation, Guyana belongs to all Guyanese.

As someone with Guyanese roots, I believe we should be able to discuss matters affecting our country without hostility or division.

I’m interested in hearing different perspectives from Guyanese at home and abroad.

What are your thoughts on the current situation?

Let’s keep the conversation respectful, factual and free from personal attacks.

#Guyana #GuyanaNews #AzruddinMohamed #IrfaanAli #GuyanaPolitics #GuyaneseCommunity

Hakeem Jefferies you are a Sell Out, we have to watch you sideways. Your meeting with Jared Kushner was an Eye Opener. No business as usual . I don't Trust you, you all is that country pocket. We need accountability not you making sweetheart deals in the boardroom .

Is the PPP gov't so scared of Azruddin Mohamed that they want to permanently keep him in prison without bail? What say you?

TWO GENERATIONS. TWO GLOBAL CHAMPIONS. ONE POLITICAL MOVEMENT. ONE GUYANA! ??

My heartfelt congratulations to His Excellency, President Irfaan Ali, on being appointed Commonwealth Champion of Biodiversity at the Commonwealth Heads of Government Meeting in Antigua and Barbuda.

This is an extraordinary achievement for our President, our country and, importantly, the generation of young Guyanese who will inherit the responsibility of protecting and developing this nation.

But I believe this recognition carries a much deeper political and historical significance.

The PPP/C has established a remarkable continuity of environmental leadership across two generations.

We had Dr. Bharrat Jagdeo, our former President and internationally recognised Champion of the Earth, whose vision challenged the world to recognise that keeping our forests standing should have economic value. He pioneered the Low Carbon Development Strategy (LCDS), positioning Guyana as a global example of how environmental conservation and national development can coexist.

Today, we have President Dr. Irfaan Ali advancing that vision into a new frontier: biodiversity financing, international partnerships and the economic valuation of nature.

Jagdeo laid the foundation. Ali is expanding the vision.

And the numbers tell a compelling story.

Under the LCDS, Guyana secured US$227 million in results-based payments from Norway between 2009 and 2015 for maintaining its forests. Under the subsequent carbon-credit arrangements, Guyana has mobilised more than US$500 million, with the landmark Hess Corporation agreement committing at least US$750 million over its lifespan.

More than 250 villages and communities are benefiting from over 3,000 projects involving livelihoods, infrastructure and essential services.

Think about what this means for our Indigenous and Amerindian communities, particularly those in the hinterland.

A minimum of 15% of forest-carbon revenues under the national framework is allocated directly to Amerindian communities, while the Hess agreement provides for 30% of its proceeds to support Amerindian development.

This is not simply environmental conservation. It is an opportunity to finance village infrastructure, improve agricultural production, develop community businesses, strengthen education, create employment and empower Indigenous communities to determine their own development priorities.

It means that the forests our Indigenous brothers and sisters have protected for generations can become an economic asset that helps finance their future.

And President Ali is taking this conversation even further.

Through the Guyana-led Global Biodiversity Alliance, established in July 2025 with 17 founding members, membership has grown to 149 members, including major countries such as China, India, France and the United Arab Emirates.

That is a remarkable achievement for a country of our size.

Guyana is no longer simply participating in international environmental conversations. We are helping to shape the global agenda.

Furthermore, the Commonwealth Nature Initiative, launched with an initial US$202.2 million in pledges, has created another opportunity to mobilise international financing for biodiversity protection, with an ambition to attract US$1 billion by 2030.

These are the kinds of international partnerships and financial mechanisms that can create opportunities far beyond the environmental sector.

Consider the possibilities for Guyana: ecotourism, biodiversity research, sustainable agriculture, conservation technology, scientific innovation, green entrepreneurship and thousands of potential jobs.

And this is particularly important for my generation.

We cannot inherit a country with extraordinary natural wealth and fail to understand its economic potential. Our forests, rivers, wildlife and ecosystems are not merely things to admire; they are assets that, when properly managed, can generate opportunities and prosperity for generations.

I also believe there is an important political lesson here.

For years, the PPP/C has pursued a development philosophy that recognises that economic growth and environmental protection need not be competing objectives.

Dr. Jagdeo established that philosophy internationally. President Ali is building on it, expanding its reach and pushing for the world to recognise that countries like Guyana must receive tangible economic returns for protecting resources that benefit humanity.

But let us be clear: international accolades, declarations and conference appearances must ultimately be measured by what they deliver at home.

The true measure of this leadership must be jobs created, investments attracted, infrastructure developed, communities empowered and improved living standards for ordinary Guyanese. And thankfully, we have seen all of this, funding transforming our country men and women.

Our Amerindian communities is seeing the benefits. Our hinterland youth are having opportunities. Our farmers are having better access to markets. Our entrepreneurs must find new avenues for investment. And our future generations will inherit an economy that is stronger because we protected and intelligently utilised our natural resources.

That is the real test of sustainable development.

As a young Guyanese, I take considerable pride in seeing two leaders from the same political movement help place our country on the international map for environmental leadership.

One generation gave us Dr. Bharrat Jagdeo, the Champion of the Earth. This generation now has President Dr. Irfaan Ali, the Commonwealth Champion of Biodiversity.

Two generations of leadership. One continuing national vision. And a tremendous responsibility to ensure that the benefits reach every Guyanese.

Congratulations once again, Mr. President.

Guyana's natural wealth is a blessing, but the vision to transform that wealth into lasting prosperity is what will define our legacy.

The PPP/C is not simply building an economy for today. It is helping shape an economic model for generations to come.

Listen to me, Azruddin Mohamed. You are trying to bring down the People's Progressive Party (PPP) by spreading lies, misinformation, and what I consider to be false news every day. You keep making allegations and trying to create confusion among the people of Guyana. You have never properly explained to the people what you intend to do for this country or what plans you have to become President of the Cooperative Republic of Guyana. You cannot tell the people one clear thing about your vision, your policies, or what you intend to accomplish for this nation. Mohamed, with all the money you have, couldn't you go to the University of Guyana (UG) and study something better, buddy? Listen, I am not talking badly about you just for the sake of insulting you, but you need to separate yourself from certain nonsense and start conducting yourself responsibly. You had bail, right? Since the matter involving Pemberine and Premnarine went to court, you were granted bail. You were given an opportunity to follow the legal process, but then allegations arose concerning you paying a police constable for CCTV footage and subsequently publishing that footage on Facebook. If that allegation is established, you must understand that it is a serious matter. You should not be involved in anything that could amount to bribery or interference with police procedures. You could face further charges if the evidence establishes an offence. That is a dangerous act, and it is not something to take lightly. Now, everybody supporting you keeps shouting about victimisation and blaming the PPP government, but let me ask you something: if you do something unlawful in Guyana, what do you expect the government and the authorities to do? Should they sit down and watch you go free and continue doing whatever you want? If it were me, I would have sentenced you to a good, lengthy period of imprisonment for your repeated nonsense, your attitude, and the way you continue behaving despite being given opportunities to follow the law. I am saying that because, in my opinion, you have been given opportunities, including bail, but you continue getting yourself involved in situations that raise serious legal questions. At some point, repeated conduct must have consequences. You cannot keep doing the same things and expect everybody to tolerate it. You must understand that bail is not permission to do whatever you want. It is an opportunity to remain within the conditions established by the court and respect the legal process. The law is not something you can simply pay your way around. You cannot commit an offence, pay somebody, and expect everything to disappear. You need to get your act together as an opposition leader, and you need to tell Odessa Primus, Hannah, Melly Mel, and all the other people following you to stop the nonsense on social media. You are supposed to be presenting policies and solutions for Guyana, not encouraging confusion, arguments, and irresponsible behaviour. Now, let us talk about the incidents involving people's residences. Mohamed, who gave you the right to go by the President's residence, take photographs, and publish them on social media? Who gave you the right to go by Ministers' homes, take photographs, and post them online? And why were you passing by Police Constable Premnarine's house? What exactly were you trying to accomplish by going near the residence of a police officer connected to a matter involving you? What was the purpose of passing by his home and bringing his private residence into a public political controversy? These are serious questions that deserve proper explanations. People have private homes, families, and personal lives, and their residences should not become targets of political confrontation or social-media attention. If you have a disagreement with somebody or a legal matter involving an individual, there are proper legal channels to address it. You do not need to go around people's houses taking photographs and publishing them for the public to see. You don't have work to do? Stay home and read, educate yourself, and learn about the responsibilities that come with leadership. You don't know how to read and properly understand documents, yet you are conducting press conferences and speaking about important national matters. You receive documents, but instead of reading and explaining what is actually written in them, you want to give people your own words and interpretations. You show people documents, but you cannot properly explain their contents. You get Odessa Primus and other people to tell you what to say and what not to say. What kind of leadership is that? How can you expect to lead the people of Guyana if you cannot properly understand the information you are presenting to the public? People deserve an opposition leader who can read, understand, analyse, and explain documents without depending on other people to tell him what to say. People are fed up with you and your nonsense, opposition leader. I am fed up and sick and tired of the constant stupidity and irresponsible behaviour because you call yourself an opposition leader, but you are not conducting yourself like someone who is preparing to lead a country. When the Guyana Police Force investigates or arrests you in connection with an alleged offence, you immediately blame the government. You cannot automatically blame the government whenever you find yourself facing legal consequences. If you did not get involved in the situations you are now facing, you would not be in those circumstances. Take responsibility for your own actions and allow the proper legal process to take place. Get your act together. And to all the people protesting on the roads and threatening to commit criminal offences, understand that peaceful protest is a democratic right, but threatening people, threatening to burn down buildings, damaging property, and encouraging violence are serious matters. Anybody who commits a criminal offence must face the appropriate legal consequences. I am telling you that nobody is above the law. It does not matter whether you have money, connections, expensive lawyers, or political supporters. You must face the consequences of your actions. I am not saying anybody should be punished without evidence or denied a fair trial. I am saying that the law must be respected and applied equally. Now, for Melly Mel, you need to stop going around speaking nonsense about democracy and making irresponsible statements. Regarding the reported threats about burning down ExxonMobil and the High Court, those matters must be investigated properly. If the allegations are proven, she must face the consequences under the law. If the United States authorities investigate the matter, any immigration or deportation decision will be for the appropriate American authorities to determine. She cannot simply assume that there will be no consequences for making threats of that nature. And I am also concerned about the people who have reportedly been shot and those who have been arrested in connection with the surrounding events. I hope the Ministry of Home Affairs examines these matters carefully and ensures that everything is investigated properly. Go and watch the news programmes in Guyana. Go and examine the videos and the information being reported. I am not asking anybody to believe something without evidence, but people must open their eyes and understand the seriousness of what is happening. Melly Mel is a grown woman, and she needs to start behaving responsibly. You want to get rid of the PPP government? Then why don't you stand up and tell Mohamed when what he is doing is wrong? Why don't you tell him to put himself together and conduct himself properly? Why must you continue supporting everything he does, even when his actions raise serious questions? I know Mohamed has helped a lot of people. I know he has done good things for individuals and families, and I am not denying that. But helping people does not give you the right to do foolishness or break the law. Doing good for people does not put you above the law. You cannot use the good things you have done as an excuse for irresponsible conduct. Finally, Hannah, you need to understand what democracy and victimisation actually mean before going out and making public statements. You just came into politics, and you still have a lot to learn about political leadership, governance, the Constitution, democratic principles, and the rights and responsibilities of citizens. I want you to read and understand what victimisation means. You cannot simply call everything victimisation because somebody is investigated, arrested, questioned, or held accountable under the law. Victimisation is a serious allegation, and it requires facts and evidence. You must understand the difference between lawful enforcement of the law and unlawful political persecution. Azruddin Mohamed also needs to educate himself about politics and leadership. Odessa Primus and the other people following him must also understand that politics is not simply about making noise on social media, attacking the government, holding press conferences, and gathering people to protest. Politics is about policies, national development, accountability, leadership, responsibility, and presenting solutions for the people. If you want to become leaders of Guyana, then start behaving like responsible leaders. Stop encouraging confusion, stop spreading unverified information, stop making irresponsible public statements, and start telling the people what you will actually do for this country. Guyana deserves responsible leadership, and the people deserve individuals who understand that leadership is a responsibility, not an opportunity to do whatever they please. The law must be respected, democracy must be protected, and everybody must be held accountable through the proper legal process, regardless of who they are.

AZRUDDIN MOHAMED APPEARS VIRTUALLY FROM LUSIGNAN PRISON AS COURT MATTER CONTINUES

The matter involving Opposition Leader Azruddin Mohamed and his two employees, Mario Mohamed and Eugene Thorne, is continuing this morning at the Georgetown Magistrates’ Court before Magistrate Faith McGusty.

Mohamed, currently on remand at Lusignan Prison, appeared virtually before the court as proceedings continue on three joint charges against the defendants.

The three men were each granted G$750,000 bail on Friday, October 16, after pleading not guilty to the charges. Magistrate McGusty granted bail of G$250,000 on each charge and adjourned the matter to November 6, 2026.

The charges relate to the alleged unlawful possession of a .32 pistol and three matching rounds of ammunition, as well as attempting to pervert the course of justice.

The allegations stem from an incident on October 12 outside Senior Superintendent Prem Narine's home on Barr Street, Kitty.

According to police, Narine reportedly heard what appeared to be a gunshot as the vehicle passed his home and returned fire. A firearm and ammunition were subsequently allegedly found in the intercepted vehicle.

As part of their bail conditions, the defendants are required to attend all court hearings, surrender their travel documents and obtain the court’s permission before leaving Guyana. They are also prohibited from contacting, threatening, or interfering with witnesses and must stay away from Barr Street, Kitty.
