DEAR EDITOR,
THE GUYANA UNITED DEMOCRATIC PARTY, the GUD Party for a Better Guyana (for together We are Better, and Together We are Stronger, and We put Guyana First), having been formed on August 21, 2019 in Bel Air, Georgetown wishes to make public our endorsement of and support for ANUG. We ask all Guyanese who wish to see the change so many are asking for to vote for ANUG at the upcoming March 2, 2020 National Elections. As Gandhi said, “be the change you want to see.”Change begins with each of us.
The new parties that have been formed is indicative of this desire and need for change in the historical racist political control exercised by the entrenched party-paramount aristocracies. Voting for any one of the two will not bring about the change that is needed in Guyana.
ANUG, like the GUD Party, has identified the change that is needed in Guyana. The current divisive Constitution needs to be changed. It is this current Constitution that was designed to divide to rule that continues to divide to rule. The colonial lords may not be present in person to unfairly benefit from the sweat, blood and tears of Guyanese but they have created two equally voracious monsters who have no interest in the welfare of Guyana or Guyanese.
When the PNC was in political control and the PPP was in the opposition, the PPP called for Constitutional change and publicly promised that, if it gets in power, it will change the Constitution. The PPP was in power for some 22 years with the majority in Parliament but it did NOT change the Constitution as it promised.
If ANUG gets into Parliament, it will serve as a pressure force to bring about the real and the needed change – a change of the Constitution that is responsible for the current chaos, crime, corruption, and dictatorship with party paramountcy. It is in the interest of Guyana’s future that a political party like ANUG get into Parliament in March 2020.Guyana needs a new and better future and so old racist politics and selfish political aristocrats must not be allowed to dominate in the political affairs of Guyana. Now is the time for us to make a change by changing our old voting habits and vote for ANUG and for a new Constitution.
