The Mysteries and Myths About the 2020 Orange Voter Are Exaggerated

Man Hikmat Mahawat Khan

Following my previous article “Santokhi smiled, no major changes have taken place among the 108,000 Orange voters“, this is an encore with some additional facts and analysis based on those facts.

There is an exaggerated mysticism and mythology about the 108,000 Orange votes in 2020, as if non-Hindustanis voted en masse for the VHP.

Non-Hindustanis voted for the VHP but not en masse as imagined and hence Santokhi will not suffer major losses in 2025 due to the race card played by the NDP henchmen as their goal is to incite the people to “stop being coolies”. This in itself is highly reprehensible and utterly idiotic as you are sowing a storm now but soon you will reap a hurricane through a corrupt society. These conspirators continue with the scorched earth policy.

Where will the votes for the VHP come from in 2020? It is important to consider the facts about the demography of Suriname. Facts and not the nonsense of people like Van der Sand with his “blakamang lai moro dan Coolie”. Don’t talk to me about this, because this expert who has served for many years has seen his contribution in the form of Brokopanasi and always beats his chest in the afternoon talk shows, he said so himself.

Suriname population change
In reports from the World Bank and the Inter-American Development Bank, we see the following data.

First a quick summary for those who can’t read statistics, there are many such people in Suriname, but they always know more without statistics, just like a famous professor from Suriname, Prof. Dr. Walther Donner once said “God knows everything, but Surinamese know more” because Surinamese put all statistics aside and let their thumbs do the talking on the radio in the afternoon talk show.

Suriname is about 15.1% Creole, while the Hindustani population is almost twice as many at 27.4%. There are a lot of Chestnuts – about 21.3% – but you can’t simply add them to the Creole population because then you’d have an angry Ronnie in front of you.

The Maroon group is the fishing pond of Brunswick. The Javanese are also an important group, accounting for 16.2%, even more than the Creoles.

Somo’s Wong Jowo strategy is also based on something that will have an impact in the upcoming national elections. Brunswick, as the maroon king in the national proportional system, will not treat its fish pond badly. We also see that among the ethnic groups, the upper-middle class group is the largest, except for the Maroons and Hindustani.

VHP Voting
Clearly, the VHP attracted a significant amount of support from Hindustani voters. After all, the total 104,000 votes were based on 27.1% of Hindustani voters. Not all Hindustani voters voted, and not all who voted voted for the VHP, but you can safely assume that a significant number voted for the VHP.

Who were the voters other than Hindustani among the 108,000 Orange votes? There is every reason to believe that the upper classes in particular voted en masse for the VHP in 2020 because these people were fed up with the financial havoc caused by the NDP financial cowboys using banks as NDP ATMs.

The upper classes are generally future-oriented, seeking development and progress, not singing and dancing. These wealthy people – the upper classes – can think clearly, and they will not fall into the trap of demagogues who are throwing racist firebombs all day long, trying to set society on fire, and then acting like Samaritan firemen.

The wealthy are a little too smart about this. So they will not be on the ethnic map by 2025. By the way, the fact that the entire ethnic map was not on the table in 2020 under Bouterse can be credited to him. Credit where credit is due.

Thus, the VHP attracted votes from most of the Hindustani and wealthy sections of all ethnic groups, including Creoles, Javanese, mestizos and Maroons. Thus, the Creoles did not vote en masse for Santoki. Note that the major non-Hindu districts of Coronie, Para, Marowijne, Sipaliwini and Brokopondo only won 2,700 votes for Santoki in total.

In short, the assumption that Santokhi had 108,000 votes (which was mainly due to the Creoles) is a myth. Interestingly, you can safely assume that the NDP attracted many Hindustanis in 2010 and 2015, so it even grew to 117,000 in 2015.

That is why I pointed out in my analysis in the previous article that all the noise from the social media Taliban and ethnic arsonists will not shake Santoki.

It will actually be counterproductive. Hindustani people will think twice before making changes and this applies to the wealthy people as well. The last group has no interest in the “arsonists”, Taliban and gangsters who are poisoning the society and still working with financial cowboys.

The image of oil and gas money being squandered lingers in everyone’s mind. When you still hear former Governor Van Trickett speak, it’s as if he doesn’t understand that those of us with our feet on the ground disapprove of his nepotism and waste, and he still thinks the neck is not his fault, which is completely understandable.

postscript
For those who still don’t want to understand, I will repeat again that I only analyze what I see and don’t say what I hope or want. Santokhi’s success was partly due to weaker opponents and the quality of his opponents.

When I hear a blabbering wannabe politician talking about rice farmers on DTV, who again appears as a mediator and consultant without any plan or vision, you know Santokhi is not worried about such soft talk.

Leefbaar, the wannabe Surinamese politician, is said to have been working in Suriname for many years – 12 years, he says – but he is unable to publish even a few A4 pages of his vision or plan for these 12 years, not even a sub-plan, let alone a comprehensive and inclusive vision.

Can he leave a mark on a pack of butter after 2025? Why should you trust him? Santoshi’s goal was open but these wannabe politicians couldn’t even touch the ball, let alone score in an empty net.

Santoshi is already being considered for reelection, and it’s not because of his performance and qualities. There’s nothing better, maybe more suitable for chatting, but it won’t make Mom go to Paris.
