Mayor Narine should run for Prime Minister
Dear Editor,
Permit me a space in your editorial to support and to echo a call on behalf of all youths throughout Guyana.
Editor, it is no secret that a majority of Guyana’s voting population comprises youths between the ages of 18 to 35. It is the youths of this country that hold the power within their hands to ensure that a government that is of the people, for the people is elected. Many have questioned why the PPP is afraid of the a new voters list but editor, the fact is clear, the PPP knows that they will lose by a larger margin than they did by in the 2015 elections, should the thousands of youths that are unregistered become enfranchised.
The question remains however, is the APNU/AFC doing everything necessary to capture those new votes? Only time will tell. However, as a youth I can say pronto, Youths today expect leadership that
is representative of what they believe in – transparent governance, honesty and integrity and to this end Editor, The Mayor of Georgetown has been expounding these qualities since taking office in late 2018. He is youthful and for the short time he has occupied the seat of Mayor of Georgetown, Pandit Ubraj Narine has demonstrated what a true politician is made of, and what we truly can achieve when we put youths with a clear vision in key positions!
Editor, I strongly believe that the APNU/ AFC government would win the upcoming election by a landslide victory if the Honorable Mayor is placed on the ticket alongside His Excellency President David Granger as a we approach General Elections once more. As a youth, Mayor Narine has the backings of a wide cross section of Guyanese from differing backgrounds and as Prime Minister of Guyana I see a government that is strong, stable and well equipped to manage our new found resource in a transparent and selfless manner!
Too many of our leaders have used their positions to grab from ordinary citizens through corrupt means. Mayor Narine, as one of the youngest Mayors in the history of Georgetown, has demonstrated to all that he is ready to serve and to do so with all his might and energy.
Editor, like Martin Luther King, I too have a dream, a ticket for the 2020 elections with our dear Mayor Pandit Ubraj Narine standing next to our dearest President His Excellency David Granger as His Prime Minister and first Vice President.
Editor, let’s us not dream further, I’m calling on all youths to throw their support behind the young Mayor and lets us, whenever elections is called, support a party that is for the people of this beautiful land!
Mayor Narine for Minister, Youths, wise up, let’s make this happen!
Yours respectfully,
R. M. Mathoo, B.Sc.
