THE People’s National Congress Reform is pleased to extend greetings and good wishes to all Guyanese as we celebrate the 46th Anniversary of our Republican status.
This year, 2016, our nation celebrates its Golden Jubilee — 50 years as an independent nation. The national celebration of Mashramani, therefore, is an occasion for reflection and assessment of the state of our nation 46 years after Guyana was declared a Republic, and 50 years since we achieved our Independence.

In this regard, it must be evident to all that we, as Guyanese, need to redouble our efforts to banish crime, disease, ignorance and poverty. We must strengthen national unity, expand national infrastructure, fortify national institutions, ensure national security, and extend public services.

Our Party has joined our partners in APNU+AFC to declare and dedicate our energies to making 2016 the Year of Renaissance. This year, we must all stand as one. This is the year for national unity. In the words of our Party Leader and President, “It is a year for recalling and recommitting towards the dream of a free, united and prosperous Guyana; one in which the good life is attainable by all.”

Accordingly, the PNCR wishes all of the Guyanese people a Happy Republic holiday and a joyous celebration of Mashramani, as we pray that the spirit of peace, love and unity will dwell among us on the 46th anniversary of our Republic.
