THOUSANDS of A Partnership for National Unity and Alliance For Change (APNU/AFC) supporters, on Wednesday evening, converged at the Anna Regina Car Park, Damon Square, in show of support for the current government.

Party supporters were seen as early as 15:00 hrs at different spotS waiting to hear their leaders address them.

A few of the party supporters who spoke with Guyana Chronicle all expressed similar sentiments, calling for the government to be given a second chance to further transform and develop Guyana.

Many of the supporters are of the view that the David Granger led-administration is the only government that can lead Guyana and Region Two to prosperity.

Lenessa Harrison, 23, of Good Hope Village, said she is supporting the current government because it has a vision for all Guyanese.

Harrison said the previous government did not deliver on most of their promises and although the current government has been in power for only four years, it has enabled development in every sector of the economy.

Natasha Persaud, a resident of Hibernia, said she gave up serving under the People’s Progressive Party and decided to support the current administration because she wants a transparent government.

Persaud said under the previous administration, she was victimised, robbed and cheated and she was happy when the current government won the elections as it gave many persons hope. Persaud said the coalition government has a room for everyone and called on her fellow Essequibians to vote wise on March 2.

Ziona Mc Cherson, who will be voting for the first time, said having listened to most of the parties manifesto, only the Granger-led Administration has the vision to assist young people. She said if the current government is given a chance, then better and brighter days are ahead for Region Two.

Deodat Christian, a fisherman from Paradise/ Jib village, said he is voting this year for the coalition because of the massive improvements seen in Region Two.

He said he was a loyal supporter of the PPP, but many times when he raised concerns with regional officials, it falls on deaf ears. He said last year he supported the coalition Government and he went and lobbied for his street to be upgraded and it was done.
“We want leaders that can deliver promises and fulfil the people’s need,” he said.

Nichola Joseph, from Queenstown village, said she is also supporting the current government because for four years she has seen tremendous improvements in infrastructure in the Pomeroon- Supenaam region. Today, she said, floods seldom occur.

Maria Courtman, from Maria’s Lodge, said she and her entire family are supporting the current government because the leaders have a vision for Guyana.
