The stage is set for a crucial moment in Guyanese politics as the election of the country’s next Leader of the Opposition is scheduled to take place on Monday, January 26. Speaker of the National Assembly, Manzoor Nadir, has announced that the meeting with Opposition Members of Parliament will be convened ahead of the presentation of the National Budget.
This development comes after the 13th Parliament was convened on November 3, 2025, and marks an important step towards the formal establishment of the leadership for the parliamentary opposition in the new parliament.
The outcome of this election is expected to have a significant impact on the country’s politics, particularly as the government prepares to present Budget 2026 and advance other legislative business.
With Azruddin Mohamed of We Invest in Nationhood (WIN) emerging as the frontrunner for the post, the opposition is poised to regain its footing in Guyanese politics. The election is a key constitutional requirement that will restore full parliamentary functionality.
The event also comes ahead of several significant developments in the country, including the Ministry of Education’s plans to launch new initiatives and the expected growth of Guyana’s population.
