Dear Editor,
THANK you for allowing me the opportunity to share an observation with my fellow Guyanese that I believe is a most important development.

As my brothers and sisters would be aware, as we approach national and regional elections on March 2, many “smaller” political parties have emerged. I absolutely agree with President David Granger when he declared that the emergence of such political movements is a most welcome change. The president mentioned that democracy is now flourishing in Guyana, and, I whole-heartedly agree.

Editor, it is not just the formation of new parties; it is the transformation of the entire socio-political atmosphere under the astute leadership of the David Granger administration. The rule of law is being respected; there are no more allegations of state-sponsored threats, acts of terror, torture, nor murder. Instead, Guyanese are truly free to openly associate with any political movement; Guyanese may speak freely, without any fear of reprisal.

Editor, over the past four years there has been a totally positive and refreshingly transformative change of our political culture. And I am convinced that if David Granger is allowed to continue his visionary work, the oppressive, tyrannical rule of the People’s Progressive Party will become nothing more than a filthy stain on the fabric of Guyana’s historical tapestry.
Regards,
Mark DaCosta
