Asgar Ally is a former Guyanese politician. He served as Minister of Finance from 1992 to 1995.^[1]^[2]

He was deputy governor^[3] of the Bank of Jamaica prior to returning to Guyana to serve as minister of finance.^[4]

He resigned as minister of finance in May 1995 over "political and policy differences" with President Jagan.^[5]

Soon after, Ally founded the Guyana Democratic Party,^[6] and in July 1996 announced that he would run for president in the 1997 elections. He ran with a coalition of Guyanese Action for Reform and Democracy (GUARD) and the Guyana Labour Party (GLP), but it disbanded after the election.^[7]

Ally re-aligned with Jagan and the PPP/C^[8] joining again to pledge his support during the 2011 elections.^[7]
