Granger renews call for government of national unity

 

Georgetown : Chairman of A Partnership for National Unity, Brigadier David Granger, has renewed the call for a Government of National Unity as the partnership celebrated its first anniversary on Sunday.

 

 

Brigadier Granger recalled that APNU, a combination of more than ten parties and civic organisations, together with the Alliance for Change, AFC, were been given a ‘mandate by the majority’ at the 2011 general and regional elections. He iterated APNU’s commitment has always been to work towards the establishment of a Government of National Unity. An APNU-led government, he said, will be committed to ‘inclusionary democracy’ as enshrined in the constitution and to the proposition that all Guyanese are entitled to a ‘good life.’

 

Brigadier Granger promised that APNU’s parliamentary representatives – the Guyana Action Party, Justice for All Party, National Front Alliance, People’s National Congress and Working People’s Alliance – will continue to fulfill their obligation to the nation both through the legislative process in the National Assembly and in the country at large.

The anniversary was marked by a press conference on Wednesday 11th July, and a meeting of the ‘Leadership Council’ on Saturday 14th July, at the Office of the Leader of the Opposition on Hadfield Street, Georgetown. A religious service was also held at St Andrew’s Presbyterian Church on Sunday 15th July.
