APNU promises the renewal of real local democracy

Georgetown : A Partnership for National Unity (APNU), today launches its campaign for the local government elections with the promise to promote greater local democracy and to enhance infrastructure development.

The party reminded that November 28 is symbolic. It is a reminder of the fact that over 175, 000 Guyanese voted for A Partnership for National Unity and the Alliance For Change in the general and regional elections on that day in 2011. 

APNU and AFC have combined their efforts to change the local government system by the passage of four Local Government Bills –Municipal and District Councils (Amendment); Local Government Commission; Fiscal Transfers, and Local Government (Amendment) – in the National Assembly.

APNU renews its commitment to continue to campaign for change in order to ensure that villagers and townsfolk can better control their communities.

APNU’s campaign for enhanced local government is aimed at electing democratic, adequately-funded and better-equipped councils.

APNU promises “a good life for all Guyanese” and will work to improve the conditions under which villagers and townsfolk in our neighbourhoods and municipalities live and work.
