As the election campaign season intensifies, tensions spilled over into the public domain over the weekend when supporters of the ruling People’s Progressive Party Civic (PPP/C) clashed with a well-known businessman at Charity on the Essequibo Coast.
Eyewitnesses described a scene of verbal confrontation and rising tempers, which reportedly unfolded during a political outreach event. The altercation, while not physical, drew the attention of onlookers and highlighted the growing political polarization in the lead-up to the 2025 General and Regional Elections.
Details surrounding the cause of the dispute remain unclear, but sources indicate it stemmed from disagreements over political messaging and alleged intimidation tactics. Law enforcement was reportedly on standby to defuse the situation and ensure order.
The incident underscores the high-stakes political climate in Guyana as parties ramp up their presence across regions to secure support from the electorate.
