Georgetown : President Donald Ramotar told residents of Essequibo that the PPP/C must and will be prepared for any eventuality as he made reference to threats by the Opposition to pass a no-confidence Motion against him and his government.
Late last month, the Alliance for Change (AFC) said that it was in the process of preparing a no-confidence Motion in the Government, for which A Partnership for National Unity (APNU) has signalled its support.
“Whether it is general elections or local government elections, we must be ready to win those elections in a decisive way,” the Head of State declared.
Turning his attention to the criticisms that the Government has been facing over the holding of local government elections, he said that as the Executive President, he wants these long-awaited polls to be held as early as possible. He noted that this is also the position of the People’s Progressive Party. This is one of the promises outlined in the Party’s 2011 manifesto.
The last local government elections in Guyana was held in 1994, it was slated to be held again in 1997; however that could not have happened since general elections was due at that same time.
