CHAIRMAN of A Partnership for National Unity (APNU), Brigadier David Granger, has renewed the call for a Government of National Unity as the partnership celebrated its first anniversary on Sunday July 15, 2012. The anniversary was marked by a press conference on Wednesday last, 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 July 15.
Brigadier Granger recalled that APNU, a combination of more than 10 parties and civic organisations, together with the Alliance For Change, (AFC), were  given a ‘mandate by the majority’ at the 2011 general and regional elections.
According to a statement yesterday from his office, Granger also iterated that 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 fulfil their obligation to the nation both through the legislative process in the National Assembly and in the country at large.
