THE A Partnership for National Unity political party on Tuesday staged protests in the three townships of Berbice.The demonstration was held to press the ruling People’s Progressive Party/Civic to host overdue local government elections, which were last held in 1994.
Consequent upon the request of the party, country- wide protest action has been arranged and some political supporters in New Amsterdam “downed tools” and staged a one-hour protest in front of the Regional Democratic Council Office in New Amsterdam.
The event was peaceful, and no incidents were reported.
organiser Javon Stephen said the protests would be held each Tuesday until the demand is heeded by the Government.
Locations for the demonstrations will be in the vicinity of Freedom House, and the Mayor and Town Council, among other venues.
