On May 11, 2015, General Elections were held in the
Co-operative Republic of Guyana. The People’s Pro-
gressive Party, which had held political power in the
country for years, was defeated by a coalition of two
broad groups: A Partnership for National Unity (APNU),
a grouping comprising the major People’s National
Congress and several smaller political parties; and Al-
liance for Change, a small political party. The coalition
won a majority 33 seats in Guyana’s 65-member Par-
liament, thus giving it the right to form a new govern-
ment. Today, Guyana is headed by President David A.
Granger, who has appointed his own fresh cabinet of
