(Kaieteur News) – The results of the 2025 general and regional elections were a shocker. And anyone who now claims that they predicted the performance of We Invest in Nationhood (WIN) coming should seriously consider going into the fortune-telling business.

WIN did not merely emerge from the election with a good showing. It emerged as a formidable electoral force, securing a level of support that few serious observers would have predicted before the ballots were counted. That is precisely why WIN should be celebrating its achievement while simultaneously studying it with a cold and unsentimental eye. The danger for a new political movement is that an extraordinary first performance can easily be mistaken for the beginning of an unstoppable march to power when it may instead prove to be a political high-water mark.
