Long described as impenetrable fortresses of the PNC-led APNU, Regions Four and Ten recorded historic defeats for that party in Monday’s general and regional elections.Based on Statements of Poll (SOPs) released by the Guyana Elections Commission (GECOM), the ruling People’s Progressive Party Civic (PPP/Civic) is projected to win Region Four and newcomer We Invest in Nationhood (WIN) is projected to win Region 10.In Region Four, the PPP/C is projected to secure over 76,000 votes, almost double that of APNU’s 40,407.Over in Region 10, the WIN hammered APNU 8,384 to 4,407, while the PPP/C bagged 3,318 votes.At the 2020 General and Regional Elections, APNU, then in coalition with the AFC, copped 116,941 votes while the PPP/C secured 80,920 votes.Both regions, which were fractured politically this year by the entrance of the WIN party, have never been lost by the PNC, which rebranded to APNU in 2011 with a group of small parties without any real constituencies.Several prominent political figures, including James Bond, a former executive member of the PNC/R who defected to the PPP this year, had projected a victory for the ruling party in Region Four ahead of the polls.His contention that the incumbent would make inroads into opposition strongholds was premised on the party’s increased presence and grassroots activism within communities where it did not previously enjoy political support.The post PNCR-led APNU toppled in Regions 4, 10 appeared first on News Room Guyana.
