Dear Editor
Much has been written about voter apathy, disinterest, or lack of confidence in the Local Government Elections voting process based on the low percentage of turn out on November 12, 2018. It is assured the voters of Linden and Kwakwani who cast their ballots on Election Day is a reflection of people who took the process seriously, made certain that it worked, and did their best to aid everyone who took the time to show up.

The voters have spoken; a big win for local democracy and the Alliance For Change Region #10 is grateful for their support despite not winning the majority. It is on this premise that the AFC Regional Management Committee express heartfelt thanks to them for their vote of confidence in aid of securing two seats at the Linden Municipality and three seats at Kwakwani Neighbourhood Democratic Council.

In the months leading up to the election, the AFC spoke to many at their doorsteps and heard clearly their concerns: it was noted and this party reaffirms its commitment on delivering on priorities for the constituents. To the staff and many volunteers who came forward to assist with campaign, AFC say a big thank you! It couldn’t have succeeded without you.

To the A Partnership for National Unity (APNU) congratulations on your regional victory; rest assure as the Coalition Government both will work cohesively at the local levels to deliver on the good life for all. We look forward to working with you as a team to advance issues of importance to our communities.

Regards
Devin Sears – Chairman AFC RMC #10 (ag)
