GEORGETOWN – The newly formed A Partnership for National Unity and
Alliance For Change coalition today held a workshop at the Oceanview
Convention Centre to fine tune the regional campaign strategies and plans.
Delivering the opening address APNU+AFC Prime Ministerial Candidate Moses
Nagamootoo told the large gathering of party officials that he is confident that
APNU+AFC will win the May 11 General Elections and “secure Guyana from the
precipice of disaster”.
He appealed to the representatives and officials from all ten administrative
regions to “embody the new oneness of APNU+AFC” as they campaign across the
country.
Nagamootoo, also the AFC Vice Chairman, said that the PPP has already begun to
show signs of wanting to engage in a dirty campaign and he implored the
delegates to “remain calm in the face of attack” but warned that APNU+AFC
“cannot remain inactive in the face of distortion.”
The veteran politician said that the feedback he has gotten from being in the
villages and the rural areas is that the APNU+AFC coalition has the PPP
“bazoodee” and that “they are in a state of shock and panic which is causing them
to make mistakes every day.”
The strategy and planning workshop was geared towards putting the finishing
touches on the regional campaign strategies for each of the ten administrative
regions while linking into the national campaign plan.
Nagamootoo reiterated that APNU+AFC campaign must not seek to match the
PPP in dirty politics.
“We are not here for vengeance, we are not here to discriminate anyone, we are
not here to practice nepotism, patronage or cronyism. We have to hold out the
olive branch. We are the peacemakers, we are filled with magnanimity and in our
home that is Guyana, there is room for all. All are aboard this express train that
will lead Guyana forward under an APNU+AFC government,” Nagamootoo
charged to resounding applause from the delegates.
Campaign Committee Co-Chairman Joe Harmon and Co-Chairpersons of the
Campaign Communications Committee Cathy Hughes and Mark Archer also
address the delegates while Amna Ally moderated the proceedings.
Also in attendance were Campaign Committee Co-Chairman Raphael Trotman,
APNU parliamentarians Carl Greenidge, Volda Lawrence and Christopher Jones.
AFC parliamentarians Valerie Lowe, Eula Marcello, Trevor Williams, Verasammy
Ramaya, Leader Khemraj Ramjattan and AFC Chairman Nigel Hughes were all in
attendance.
