The We Invest in Nationhood (WIN) party has issued a strong condemnation of what it calls the deliberate spread of misinformation aimed at misleading the public and instilling fear among supporters. In a recent statement, WIN categorically rejected claims that individuals associated with businessman Azruddin Mohamed are at risk of being sanctioned by the United States government.
The party described these allegations as false and malicious, asserting that they are intended to create confusion, stoke fear, and discredit WIN’s increasing support nationwide. “This is a calculated political tactic rooted in desperation—one that aims to intimidate citizens, silence legitimate political voices, and undermine our message of unity, transparency, and national progress,” the statement read.
WIN emphasized that U.S. sanctions are not imposed simply based on association and noted that there is no evidence or official communication from the U.S. government supporting the narrative of impending sanctions against Mr. Mohamed’s associates.
To illustrate their point, WIN referenced a precedent involving a Permanent Secretary who served under the current PPP/C administration and was sanctioned by the U.S. Department of State. They highlighted that no other member or associate of the PPP/C government faced sanctions due to their affiliation with her, reinforcing the idea that sanctions are not applied based on guilt by association.
The party characterized the suggestion that WIN or its supporters are under investigation as a form of political manipulation and fear-mongering.
WIN reaffirmed its commitment to responsible governance and democratic freedoms, urging all Guyanese to remain vigilant, question falsehoods, and resist those who use propaganda to derail collective aspirations.
“In unity, we will build a Guyana defined not by intimidation—but by hope, truth, and progress,” the statement concluded.
