MARK BENSCHOP’s Independent Party (IP); Vishnu Bandhu’s Guyana Republican Party (GRP); Marisa Nadir’s The United Force (TUF); Sappier Hussain’s National Independent Party (NIP); and Alfred Parks’ Healing the Nation Theocracy Party(HNTP) will all be heading to administrative building of the Capital.Once there, and at the horse shoe table in City Hall, they will each present three separate lists to GECOM. These are the Geographical Constituencies Lists, the National Top-up Lists, and Regional Democratic Council Lists.

Yesterday, these parties, like their big rivals, were apparently busy finalising preparations for the big day.
Many calls to them went unanswered, except the one to leader of Healing the Nation Theocracy Party, Allred Parks.
He accused the APNU+AFC Alliance of trying to play‘politricks’ with the Theocracy Party and attempting to “get we to lie down and roll over”.
“No way” this will happen, he said, declaring that the party will not be daunted, and is going it alone today.
He told his publication that his party will only be contesting for a Regional Democratic Council (RDC) seat in Region 4 (Demerara-Mahaica), where it hopes to nibble way at the APNU+AFC support base.
According to Parks, his 300-strong contingent today will include ‘Bald Heads’, some who are not bald, and plenty dread-locks Rastas, all bedecked in ice, gold and green.
The Theocracy Party leader said his band will be a light in the City, but promises that there will be no smoke.
