Irfaan Ali, the president of Guyana, declared victory in the general and regional elections of this week after winning more than 240,000 votes and seven of the ten elections of the country.

Guardian said in a statement on Wednesday, “All of the results there, as the Guyana Election Commission published. The figures are open. People spoke overwhelming. We won these elections with a remarkable difference,” he said.

Ali, who was talked about tensions with neighboring Venezuela, is assigned to turn the new oil riches of the South American country into prosperity, and faces the difficulty of reconstructing a country with the highest proven crude oil reserves per capita.

The official final results of the vote on Monday have not yet been released, and some parties have called for re -counts in some election areas, but the preliminary figures show a concussion for the opposition of the South American country.

The government directed oil revenues to building roads, schools and hospitals and released studying at State University. The International Monetary Fund listed the country’s GDP as about 26 billion US dollar, which was about five times that it was five years ago.

But the opposition parties say that oil gains are unfair distribution to ruling groups of power PPP/C. PPP/C rejects these claims.

Win entered the race as a joker, but took advantage of Mohamed’s powerful social media. Mohamed, a member of one of Guyana’s richest families, was sanctioned by the United States on the allegations that Guyana defrauded the tax revenue government and bribed public officials. Mohameds rejected all mistakes.

Election observers from the Caribbean Community (Caricom), a block of 15 countries, praised the peaceful environment before and during the surveys.

However, they expressed concerns about the lack of insecurity and lack of clarity on the official list of people who were entitled to voting, and the Caricom statement referred to the “perceived ‘inflated’ nature of the voters list.
