Well-known Guyanese, renowned activist, television talk show host of Voice of the People, and political party founder-leader of the Justice for All Party (JFAP), C.N. Sharma, along with his wife Savitree Sharma, have endorsed Irfaan Ali and the PPP/C government for a second term in government.
In his active years, C.N. Sharma, an outspoken political commentator and activist, heavily criticised the PPP/C government. In a statement, he said now, having taken a step back from the political frontlines and the media limelight, “I see change within the party. Irfaan Ali shows he cares for all the Guyanese people of all races, equally. Well done Irfaan! I have a genuine concern for the voiceless people of Guyana and I see we have a president who cares about the people. Guyana is progressing with a bright future for all the people of this country.”
The Sharmas’ attention and support toward the PPP/C came in 2020, when their political party JFAP split away from the then-governing APNU Coalition, after Sharma’s party conceded to the PPP/C in support of the election result and recount, agreeing that PPP/C was the declared winner of the 2020 General Election and demanded that Ali be sworn in without further delay.
“I was once a loud voice against the government — I have no apologies keeping them in line; but unity and support is necessary for progress to continue for the good of all Guyanese,” Sharma said.
