Dear Editor,

I WRITE this letter as someone who was raised in a household that firmly supported the People’s National Congress (PNC), and by extension, the APNU+AFC coalition.

Our home was one where the values and vision of the party were deeply respected. We believed in its potential to lead, uplift, and defend the rights of all Guyanese—especially those who often felt unheard.

However, what is unfolding now within the party is heartbreaking.
The public infighting, confusion, and apparent lack of unity are difficult to ignore. As a young person watching this all unfold, it’s disheartening.

We are being asked to believe in a movement that cannot seem to believe in itself. The finger-pointing, the silence when action is needed most and the fragmentation all signal something deeper than just political disagreement—it shows a lack of direction.

As a youth, I want to be part of something hopeful. I want to support leadership that reflects strength, vision, and discipline—not just in speeches, but in action. Right now, that’s not what I’m seeing.

And so, for the first time, I’m considering sitting this one out. Not because I no longer care, but because I care too much to continue pretending that everything is okay.

The youths are watching. We are listening. And we are waiting—for leadership that’s worthy of our voices and our votes.

Respectfully,
Troy Joseph
