The situation surrounding Azruddin Mohamed raises serious questions about the political judgments of those who consider him a viable candidate, let alone a presidential contender. The notion that intelligent and educated individuals would align themselves with Mohamed seems psychologically perplexing.
While one cannot dismiss the possibility of a political future for him, it must be clear that his past endeavors were questionable at best. His wealth was inherited rather than earned, and his association with high-profile incidents, such as the Main Street affair, casts a long shadow over his character.
My concern is more about the individuals who support him than about Mohamed himself. There appears to be a disturbing readiness among some in Guyana to endorse his nomination, and this could have dire implications for their futures.
Many of Mohamed’s supporters lack a solid understanding of the financial repercussions tied to his sanctions. They are now likely to face harsh realities as banks, such as Demerara Bank, begin to close their accounts linked to him, leaving these individuals with a significant amount of cash to handle themselves—a precarious situation.
Additionally, there’s a rising risk of economic repercussions for Guyana should Mohamed secure a parliamentary position. The U.S. Ambassador’s warnings about potential trade repercussions signal that his presence could jeopardize long-standing financial relationships with Western nations. As history has shown, if the U.S. takes action, other allies may follow suit, leading Guyana into economic turmoil.
