Dear Editor,
It was never the APNU+AFC coalition’s message during its campaign for Local Government Elections (LGE), that “winning” is what matters. Its daily pronouncements throughout the Ten Administrative Regions were unambiguously clear: That Local Government belongs to the people; they must use its facilitation of an election to elect the best citizens within their communities; who together with them will advance the best interests of their locales.
This message had been sustainably clear, to all citizens/constituents. Thus, the APNU+AFC government’s objective of ensuring that it carried out the constitutional dictate of allowing Guyanese citizens to exercise their democratic rights, within the stipulated time frame has been met.
For this, the Coalition must have our unequivocal commendations. They have ensured the continuing advance of a democratic process, which the PPP/C ignored for the last 23 years, even as it installed 38 Interim Management Committees across the administrative regions for the undemocratic ends of its former government.
This has been and still is the unenlightened position of this political dinosaur of a party, that the recently held LGE, has been a people’s exercise, irrespective of low voter participation. It is a victory for the people and not any political party. Further, it is democracy that has won.
This must be a reminder to the power obsessed/hungry leader of the political opposition, Bharat Jagdeo.
Regards
Dillon Goring
