Politics in Guyana is characterised by a multi-party system, with the major parties being the People's Progressive Party (PPP) and the Partnership for National Unity and Alliance for Change (APNU-AFC) coalition. The country has seen a history of ethnic divisions between the Indo-Guyanese and Afro-Guyanese communities, which often align with political allegiances.

Corruption remains a significant issue in Guyana, with concerns about transparency and accountability persisting within the government and public institutions. The most recent significant political event in Guyana was the 2020 general elections, which were marred by allegations of electoral fraud and irregularities. After months of legal challenges and international pressure, the results were ultimately upheld, leading to the formation of a new government led by the PPP's Irfaan Ali. The next general election is scheduled to be held by December 2025.
