GEORGETOWN – The APNU AFC thanks the Guyanese people for their

tremendous support of the APNU AFC Unity Mash Band on Mashramani day last

Monday.

The warmth, love and support from the people along the Mash route was as

overwhelming as it was encouraging. The people were eager to embrace, shake

hands and take photos with the leaders, most especially President-In-Waiting

David Granger and AFC Leader Khemraj Ramjattan.

Other leaders who were also hailed by the wide cross section of Guyanese

included Basil Williams, Cathy Hughes, Joe Harmon, Valerie Garrido-Lowe,

Annette Ferguson, James Bond, Trevor Williams, Christopher Jones, David

Patterson and Winston Felix.

The response from the large crowd in the National Park was phenomenal with

sustained applause and cheering for the duration of the two laps.

“We are truly heartened by the support from the people. They were eager to

participate with us, join in the band and tell us how supportive they are. The

people want a change in the way their national affairs are being managed and

they are energized by the formation of the coalition,” Granger said.

“After that incredible experience it confirmed to us as leaders that the formation

of a unity government is precisely what the people want and we are satisfied that

we have set aside differences and acted in their interests,” Granger added.

Ramjattan said afterwards that it was a demonstration of national unity in its

finest form.

“What we saw here today, from the time we got onto the Mash route was a

demonstrate of national unity with leaders and ordinary people of all ethnicities

and backgrounds coming together to show the people of Guyana that we can all

live harmoniously as one and that we can achieve and progress in a united way,”

Ramjattan said.

APNU+AFC is confident that the support from the ordinary masses of Guyanese

will continue to expand and multiply as we head closer to the May 11th General

Elections.
