LEADER of A Partnership for National Unity (APNU), Brigadier (rtd) David Granger, earlier this week, in responding to the view that momentum is being lost in the prorogation battle, let slip that his Party is short on resources.

And APNU General Secretary Joseph Harmon, yesterday in a telephone interview with the Guyana Chronicle, confirmed that the Party is financially constrained.
“We have limited resources; we do not have the largesse as a government has. We rely on the contributions of hardworking supporters, in addition to the funds we raise through fundraisers,” he said.
Harmon acknowledged that the Party’s ability to advance an election campaign, if and when one is called, will be affected by this.
“There are things we want to do we cannot do at the pace because of limited resource…we understand that our supporters want more political action and there is a cost attached to this, so the extent to which we proceed we have to consider the costs,” he said.
However, the APNU General Secretary was confident that the party will be able to work within its means and still have an effective campaign.
“Our supporters remain behind the Party to assist in the work we do. We will rely on ground campaign again, like we did in 2011, in addition to different techniques we are using now and we are confident that this will appeal to the Guyanese people,” he said.
The comments on the party’s financial position follow a call from the Working People’s Alliance (WPA) for more vigorous political action.
“What is evident is that there is urgent need for the Opposition to communicate to the Guyanese public an Action Plan or Road Map for making the Government uncomfortable,” the WPA said in a statement issued last week.
Notably, while the WPA is one of the parties in the APNU coalition, at times its views have differed from those of APNU’s major stakeholder, the People’s National Congress Reform (PNCR).
Additionally, the Guyana Chronicle understands that APNU is currently engaged in mobilizing the much needed resources.
