flag Guyana’s president bypassed Parliament to deliver his national agenda, drawing opposition backlash over democratic norms.

flag Guyana’s President Irfan Ali delivered his five-year national agenda outside the National Assembly, sparking opposition criticism for bypassing constitutional tradition. flag The address, held at the Arthur Chung Convention Centre, excluded opposition lawmakers and occurred amid ongoing delays in convening the 13th Parliament and appointing a Leader of the Opposition. flag 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. flag They emphasized that such addresses should occur within Parliament, where they are recorded and debated. flag The absence of a sitting legislature and lack of diplomatic response have raised concerns about governance integrity and democratic backsliding.
