Kaieteur News- The People’s National Congress Reform (PNCR) and the Guyana Trades Union Congress (GTUC) on Thursday agreed to safeguard Guyana’s democratic process and fight against any attempts at “electoral malpractice”.

Further, both the PNCR and the GTUC “committed to launching an aggressive campaign aimed at educating voters about their rights and responsibilities which will lead to empowering citizens with knowledge which is vital to fostering a politically conscious electorate that is aware of their rights and the importance of their vote.”

The PNCR was represented by Chairman – Shurwayne Holder MP, General Secretary – Sherwin C. Benjamin, CEC Members – Ganesh Mahipaul MP and Sherwood Lowe, while the GTUC was represented by President – Norris Witter, General Secretary – Lincoln Lewis, Treasurer – John Tull and Organising Secretary – Eon Andrews.
