By Leon SuseranINTRODUCTIONPerhaps one of the most interesting elections campaign season has just come to an end. After nearly two months of campaigning, the political parties can now breathe a sigh of relief and catch up on their sleep. Not really though. The next few days are going to be real nailbiting for the three major political parties, namely the People’s Progressive Party/ Civic (PPP/C), Alliance for Change (AFC) and A Partnership for National Unity (APNU). I do suppose though that the politicians from these parties have all truly, in some way or another,Cheap Jerseys From China, helped the Guyanese electorate to think a little clearer and be a bit more educated on the issues. It is only hoped that now that the campaigns are over, the voters out there have decided on a party of their choice that will lead Guyana through the next five years. The campaign season had its ups and downs; it was clean and dirty; exciting and boring, you name it. The three main parties went out of their usual ways during this campaign,Cheap NFL Jerseys, utilizing any and every resource, to make sure that they reached every Guyanese voter out there.DEVELOPMENTThe Television advertisements were very interesting. They all added that flare to the usual line up of boring, redundant, repeated and old television advertisements many Guyanese have been accustomed to over the years. All of the parties used their creativity and appealed to every section of the society with these advertisements. The PPP/C was the party whose ads dominated radio and TV, even the internet. The chances were very high that you’d be channel surfing and a PPP/C ad was being aired. It would’ve also appeared that they were airing non- stop on the National Communications Network (NCN). Whenever an opposition ad was aired (which was a rare occurrence), it would immediately be followed by a PPP/C ad.But all of the ads had a high degree of creativity. I admired the newspaper advertisements. To me,NFL Jerseys China, APNU won largely because of its salient attacks and criticisms of the current administration. Their full- page pull out of their Manifesto gave every Guyanese an opportunity to read what plans they have, should they get into government. The AFC came in second with the newspaper ads. Their Report Card ad on Friday was a very good demonstration of the party’s efforts to critically analyze the issues and carefully give an assessment, or as it were, a grade.The PPP/C’s newspaper ads were more frequent and dominated than any other political party, and they, too succeeded to make the other parties look bad and debunked their (the other parties) policies very well.Then the internet was used to campaign. Facebook was a major tool used by all of the major political parties to rake voters into their respective folds. There were lively discussions, especially on the PPP/C Facebook page, followed by the AFC. I personally followed the comments and remarks,Cheap NFL Jerseys China Wholesale, all of which touched very well on the issues. As I covered the various rallies,Cheap Football Jerseys China, I too posted pictures and quotes from the various candidates of the rallies on my Facebook page. I tried to be as fair and balanced as possible.I enjoyed my first time of covering these elections for the Kaieteur News. I felt lots of excitement and energy at all of the political rallies and meetings I covered. I was tempted to participate and join the crowd at specific rallies but I remembered that I had to be neutral. All of the rallies and meetings were well attended. The lighting was very good. The crowds were very tolerant of the speakers; people stood for several hours to listen to speech after speech while the speakers had their comfortable seats on the stage. I stood among the crowds and turned on my recorder and enjoyed every moment of the campaigns; well, except the parts when there was the cuss down and a diversion from discussion of the issues. This was when the campaign season went downhill. From the President right down to the opposition speakers, they were all guilty of making negative remarks about each other. Things became very personal and these parties ought to be ashamed of themselves. We have to learn how to be more civil and if our politicians cannot do this, then how do they expect the rest of the nation to pick up this attitude?Several modern methods were used by all of the parties during their respective campaigns. The AFC used a laser beam that soared across the sky whenever there was a major rally and the light could have been seen from great distances. APNU used a blimp with their logo that was hoisted high up in the sky around the New Amsterdam area. The PPP/C distribut
