US recognises APNU-AFC democratic credentials

Dear Editor,
ON presentation of her Letters of Credence on Wednesday, the United States Ambassador to Guyana clearly said that the USA encourages “genuinely free and fair elections” in Guyana. In Guyanese lingo, the words of the US Ambassador meant that the bloated electoral list must be sanitised through house-to-house Registration to guarantee free and fair elections.  Elections conducted without house-to-house registration exercise, which is long overdue, WILL NOT be considered by democratic constituencies as “genuinely free and fair elections.”

The Lady Ambassador also said that the US has “seen a strengthening of democratic process and political institutions along with broader political participation and citizen representation.” That means the USA has seen democracy being strengthened since 2015, and the reintroduction of Local Government Elections under the Coalition Government is evidence of this.

She did not call for rushed elections, using a bloated electoral list as is being demanded by PPP trolls and Fake News proponents.
The Ambassador used simple and carefully crafted modern diplomatic language.
Well done to the APNU AFC! Your efforts and democratic credentials have been recognised.
