“I stand before you today as a candidate for the upcoming local government election, humbled by the opportunity to represent you and our beautiful city. I am running as an independent candidate, free from the shackles of political parties and special interest groups so that I can truly serve you and work towards a brighter future for us all,” he said.

Kanhai noted that Georgetown has great potential but faces numerous challenges that have been neglected for far too long. But he is here to bring change.

“Our roads need repair, our children and young people require better resources, the garbage need control, the flooding needs a solution and our businesses need support to thrive. It is time for a change, and I am here to bring that change to our city,” he said

Dr. Kanhai said that he believes in transparency, accountability, and accessibility.

“As a leader, I will be fully transparent with my decisions and actions, ensuring that you are involved in the decision-making process every step of the way. I will be accountable to you, the people, and will work tirelessly to ensure that your voices are heard and your needs are addressed,” the contestant related.

He continued: “I will be accessible to each and every one of you, and will make your concerns my top priority.”

His vision for Georgetown is one of growth, development, and prosperity, and he envisions a city where every citizen has access to quality education, healthcare, and job opportunities.

“I envision a city where businesses are thriving and contributing to the growth of our local economy. And most importantly, I envision a city where all citizens are treated with respect and dignity, regardless of their background, ethnicity, or socioeconomic status,” he noted.

Dr. Kanhai said that he could not achieve his vision alone, and he needs the support, trust, and vote of others.

“Together, we can bring about the change that Georgetown deserves. Let us unite as a community and work towards a brighter future for ourselves and future generations,” he related.
