In recent outings by Team Mohamed and Azzurdin Mohamed images of known AFC/APNU activists from previous years have surfaced, showing their involvement in organizing meetings on the ground.
These meetings included Dr. Veersammy Ramayya and a PNC-aligned mayor from Region 6.
A source close to the AFC has linked recent meetings between the Mohameds and AFC leaders Nigel Hughes and Raphael Trotman to these rural public outreaches, mainly in Regions 2 and 6. It is believed that the AFC and APNU have lost credibility in these areas and are now supporting a new face to target PPP supporters.

The source pointed to social media, where leading opposition members had previously condemned the PPP for allegedly protecting the Mohameds in relation to allegations of murder, gold smuggling, and money laundering. The same opposition figures are now promoting the Mohameds and supporting their campaigns on the ground.
This major shift, the source noted, is a carefully orchestrated plan by APNU and AFC to target PPP supporters—especially in rural areas where they believe it is difficult to mobilize opposition support.
US sanctions Mohamed’s family, gov’t official
It is known that the Mohameds were long-time supporters of the PPP, with Mr. Nazar Mohamed himself recently confirming this has been the case for decades.
The Mohameds were sanctioned by the United States in 2024 and are now on the OFAC list—a list maintained by the U.S. government for individuals and entities involved in serious international financial crimes. It is a well-established fact that conducting business with persons or organizations on the OFAC list is strictly prohibited, particularly in the banking and financial sectors, as the U.S. handles all of Guyana’s cross-border banking through correspondent banks.
As a result, the Government has had to sever all ties and transactions with the Mohameds. Financial and Banking institutions, Oil and Gas companies, and other entities have done the same. The Mohameds have now seemingly turned against the Government they once supported—not seemingly due to political or ideological differences, but because of the Government’s distancing from them. They are suggestions that they are entering politics in hopes of securing a more favorable position with the opposition to assist their cause.
The source said that had it not been for the sanctions imposed by the United States, the Mohameds would likely still be supporting the PPP.
