February Post: Extending the Presidential Term


       One thing I found interesting while reading a Carribbean newspaper was that a country, called Guyana, had numerous people, including politicians, who wanted to extend the presidential term limt for previous president Bharrat Jagdeo. Due to the high popularity of Jadgeo, this became a huge controversial topic. Although many supported this, it was deemed unconstitutional to remove the term limit and thus a new president was elected, Donald Ramotar. Ramotar has been in presidency for 3 years and 87 days. I found this all very interesting because this is a place that I have family connections to as well I have been there before. It's also very intriguing to read about political issues of another country.
