General elections were held in Guyana on 28 November 2011.^[1] The result was a victory for the People's Progressive Party/Civic, which won 32 of the 65 seats.^[2] Thus even though the combined parliamentary opposition, consisting of the A Partnership for National Unity coalition (APNU) and the Alliance for Change (AFC), managed to secure an absolute majority of 33 seats, as they had not run as a single list it was Donald Ramotar of the PPP/C (the largest single party) who assumed the presidency, and not David A. Granger of the PNCR (which heads the opposition).
