WIN Fires Back at Nepotism Criticism, Points to PPP’s Own Family Ties

The We Invest in Nationhood (WIN) party has pushed back against criticism surrounding the expected swearing-in of Hadiyyah Mohamed, sister of Opposition Leader Azruddin Mohamed, with the party’s Office Manager, Hana Mohamed, pointing to what she describes as decades of family connections within the governing People’s Progressive Party (PPP).

In a lengthy statement posted on her social media page, Hana Mohamed argued that family involvement in politics is not new to Guyana and should not become a matter of political controversy simply because it involves a member of the Opposition.

Her response comes as Hadiyyah Mohamed is expected to take the oath of office as a WIN Member of Parliament at Wednesday’s sitting of the National Assembly, following the resignation of former WIN parliamentarian Andre Lewis in October.
