In a development that has reshaped the political communications landscape in Guyana, the primary Facebook page that serves as the central digital hub for the country’s main opposition bloc We Invest in Nationhood (WIN) has been restored and is once again accessible to its more than 500,000 followers. The page, officially branded as Team Mohameds, belongs to opposition leader Azruddin Mohamed, who has been locked in a high-profile dispute over the page’s disappearance earlier this month.
The controversy dates back to September 3, 2026, when Mohamed was detained at Guyana’s Leonora Police Station, and law enforcement officials seized multiple mobile devices and a personal laptop from him. Shortly after this police interaction, the key opposition Facebook page went offline. Mohamed quickly placed blame on the ruling People’s Progressive Party Civic (PPPC), claiming the governing party orchestrated the page’s removal to silence his political voice ahead of ongoing political mobilization efforts. As of Friday, neither the Guyana Police Force nor the PPPC-led government has issued any formal confirmation or denial of Mohamed’s allegations.
According to earlier statements from the opposition leader to Demerara Waves Online News, he spent weeks in direct communication with Meta, the parent company of Facebook, working to regain access to the platform that has functioned as a critical organizing and outreach tool for WIN since last year’s general and regional elections. The page has been particularly instrumental for Mohamed, who has used it repeatedly to publish a series of serious corruption allegations against sitting President Irfaan Ali and several top PPPC government ministers. All named officials have publicly and uniformly denied every claim leveled against them via the page.
In an update shared earlier this month, Mohamed confirmed that law enforcement had ultimately returned all of the seized electronic devices that were taken as part of a separate criminal probe. That investigation centers on claims that Mohamed and a second man operated an unauthorized drone over President Ali’s private residential property in Leonora, located on Guyana’s West Coast Demerara. The second individual involved in the case, a contract videographer, has already been formally charged with multiple violations of Guyana’s Civil Aviation Act, and law enforcement has retained two drones seized from him as evidence in the ongoing case.
