Guyana’s president bypassed Parliament to deliver his national agenda, drawing opposition backlash over democratic norms.
Guyana’s President Irfan Ali delivered his five-year national agenda outside the National Assembly, sparking opposition criticism for bypassing constitutional tradition.

Opposition leaders, including Amanza Walton-Desir and Sherod Duncan, condemned the move as a threat to democratic accountability, arguing it undermines parliamentary scrutiny and the rule of law.
They emphasized that such addresses should occur within Parliament, where they are recorded and debated.
