Ferguson caught on video again
For a second time in two weeks, the APNU+AFC Coalition’s Annette Ferguson was caught on video harassing persons, who insisted that her campaigning efforts on their premises were not welcomed.
The business owner was heard saying, “I am asking you nicely to leave.” To which Ferguson responded, “I don’t concern. I ain’t come to do you nor anybody anything.”

The businessperson objected, saying, “But you are in my place of business. I want you to leave.” Ferguson defiantly said, “No, no, no. You cannot tell me that.”
A frustrated businessperson could be heard frustratingly, saying, “Oh my god!” To which, Ferguson responded, “All you have to do is call the police…call the police.”
EXPOSED
Vividly exposing untruths and in direct contrast with claims made by leader of the PNCR and the APNU+AFC Coalition, Aubrey Norton, the Coalition’s Ferguson was caught on video harassing representatives from the People’s Progressive Party/ Civic (PPP/C) engaged in Local Government Elections campaigning activities.
Ferguson was seen on video blocking efforts of a PPP/C rep from engaging with residents in a section of Georgetown. Walking beside the PPP/C rep, she screamed, “Don’t worry with them…this is PNC; this is APNU turf. This is APNU turf. Get out! Get out! Get out!…this is my turf, this is my turf.
The PPP/C rep stood his ground and responded, “You have nothing to offer them. You didn’t offer them anything in 2015 and you have nothing now…you have a transport for here? Y’all have a turf? The people have chosen the PPP/C at the Executive level (as their government) and they will choose the PPP/C at the local level (as Local Government representatives).
Speaking to residents, the PPP/C rep added, “You choose.”
Notably, when pressed on the APNU’s actions at a news conference on May
9, 2023, Norton denied that any such action took place or is taking place. He had said, “I don't know of us harassing anyone…the People’s Progressive Party lives a life of harassment…The People's Progressive Party is an authoritarian regime that harasses our people in every sense… APNU members aren't harassing anybody….when we speak to our comrades we speak to our comrades and say to them, you campaign you campaign for party, the PPP is a government that has given us all the ammunition to campaign, you don't have to harass anybody. All you have to do is campaign on the facts…all I will say to you here is that we have an organized structured campaign, in which we will deal With the issues, identify the shortcomings of this government…we don't have any need to harass anyone. We just need to put the facts out there. Why do you need to harass anybody?”
Other cases of harassment has been reported to the Guyana Police Force.
