The Alliance For Change is pleased and enthused that Guyana has entered into a new political dispensation following the declaration of results for the General and Regional Elections 2011.
“The national political landscape has forever been changed for the better in that the people’s representatives in parliament must find common ground and work together for the benefit of Guyanese,” the AFC said in a statement last night.
It said the elections outcome, as announced by GECOM, is “historic” and one which ought to serve the people of Guyana in a more representative manner, since no one party has a monopoly in parliament.
AFC said these results should engender broader participation of the representatives of the people in parliament.
“This is a win for all Guyana and for all Guyanese,” AFC stated.
It said the results have positioned the Alliance For Change in a pivotal position in parliament.
According to AFC, it has strengthened its position in the National Assembly and is now truly placed to function as the conscience of the nation.
The AFC also expressed profuse thanks to the Guyanese electorate in general and particularly those who have supported it at the polls and also thank all those who worked tirelessly for the Party all across Guyana.
The AFC said it also recognizes and pays tribute to the hardworking staff of GECOM, the media and the Observer teams, the security forces and “all other patriotic forces that worked to see us through”.
“We dedicate our victory to the memory and life’s work of Sheila Holder, our beloved founder leader,” the party stated.
AFC was allocated seven seats in the 65-member National Assembly when the Guyana Elections Commission announced the 2011 poll results yesterday.
