flag Guyana’s president appointed a key commission without a recognized opposition leader, sparking constitutional concerns.

flag Guyana’s President Irfaan Ali swore in the Teachers Service Commission in December 2025 without a recognized Leader of the Opposition, citing urgent staffing needs amid over 2,700 vacancies. flag Critics argue the move bypassed constitutional requirements under Article 207, exploiting a self-created political vacuum after the Speaker blocked opposition leadership elections. flag The government’s claim of necessity is disputed, as staffing pressures were foreseeable and budgeted. flag Observers warn the action undermines checks on executive power, sets a dangerous precedent, and signals a broader pattern of weakening democratic safeguards, including stalled implementation of the Access to Information Act. flag Calls are growing for legal challenges to restore constitutional compliance and protect institutional independence.
