Dear Editor,
In the past, politics has been a key player in the erosion of Guyana’s national unity. Guyana is known to be a multi-ethnic developing country which has been beleaguered by racial upheavals as a result of the politics of this country.
Guyana is known to have two major ethnic groups, the East Indians and the Africans, which have supported two major political parties, namely the People’s Progressive Party Civic (PPP/C) and the People’s National Congress Reform (PNCR) respectively. The contest for political power has led politicians to use this political segregation of the people, to their advantage, in order to win political support.
At the last election held in 2006, a new political party which referred to themselves as the ‘Third Force’, called the Alliance For Change (AFC) came onboard, as a promise to the young people of Guyana to bring change, however, this party has failed to do so, and has left many Guyanese in disappointment. And, today the bickering continues among these three political parties.
It is time we take real action to change the present political atmosphere of Guyana, since we are the future of this nation. We have nothing to gain from the present political parties of Guyana, and this is why I call on all voters between the ages of 18-25 years, to stand up and be counted. It is time for our voices to be heard, it is time we get rid of this old politics which has stagnated our country’s development.
All those persons who are interested in forming a new political party that is truly devoted to change must indicate so now. Only you can make the change, because the change lies in your hands.
Let us unite and join hands in an effort to rally for change now!
M. Alexander
