THE news of your victory brought us much joy and relief and on behalf of the majority of Guyanese at home and abroad, I offer you congratulations and best wishes for a successful tenure in office.

We are delighted that you are now the helmsman of the United States of America. We are ecstatic that the citizens of the U.S. have put the Democratic Party to manage the affairs of state.

Under your astute leadership, we can look forward to the U.S. being regarded not only because of its military might, but that the policies you have adumbrated will bring also lustre and love to your great nation.

Your victory also promises to set aside the ugly spectre of fragmentation and polarisation on the horizon, which was observable in recent times. Your perspicacity and vision for a nice and caring world is now an expectation of the majority of Americans and world citizens.

Under your leadership, we are confident that you will make our world safer by solid and sane decision-making.

May God bless you, your family and the Vice-President and her family with good health and long life, and may God bless America to give leadership in a world characterised by compassion.

Yours sincerely,
Jibadeh Richards
