Draft:We Invest In Nationhood (WIN)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia


We Invest in Nationhood (WIN) is a political party in Guyana, founded in 2025 by businessman and philanthropist Azruddin Mohamed. The party emerged as a self-described "third-force" alternative to the country's long-standing political duopoly and aims to unite Guyanese citizens across ethnic and class lines under the values of opportunity, equity, and national development.

Background and Founding

[edit]

The WIN Party was formally announced by Azruddin Mohamed during Guyana’s 2025 Independence celebrations. Mohamed, a high-profile businessman with interests in gold, real estate, oil logistics, and motorsports, launched the party amid growing public dissatisfaction with the country’s political establishment.

He described the party as an effort to “heal the nation” and “invest in the lives of ordinary people,” particularly in the context of Guyana’s newfound oil wealth and persistent poverty.

Reception and Impact

[edit]

The WIN Party has received mixed but growing attention. Its central message—“We Invest in Nationhood”—has resonated with first-time voters and disillusioned communities. Though critics question its staying power and Mohamed’s legal battles, supporters praise its message of national inclusion and economic fairness.

Many political analysts suggest that even if WIN does not win the presidency in 2025, it could play a kingmaker role or significantly reshape voter turnout and expectations for future elections.
