Encyclopedic overview
Samuel Archibald Anthony Hinds (born 27 December 1943) is a Guyanese politician who was Prime Minister of Guyana almost continuously from 1992 to 2015. He also briefly served as President of Guyana in 1997. He was awarded Guyana's highest national award, the Order of Excellence (O.E.) in 2011.
He first became prime minister under Cheddi Jagan in 1992, following the October 1992 election, which was won by the People's Progressive Party (PPP) welcoming Hinds and others (Civics) to work with them. When Jagan died in March 1997, Hinds became President himself, and appointed Jagan's widow Janet as prime minister. For the December 1997 general elections, the PPP/C nominated Hinds as candidate for prime minister while Janet Jagan was the candidate for the presidency. Following the election, Janet Jagan was elected president and re-appointed Hinds as prime minister.
