The opposition coalition on Wednesday March 4th officially launched its campaign for the May 11, 2015 general elections, pledging to end racially divisive politics for the first time since the 1950s and root out corruption, crime and bad governance.

Adressing a packed audience at the Pegasus Hotel, Prime Ministerial candidate Moses Nagamootoo said that after the 60 years Guyana was making another giant step towards national reconciliation, multi-ethnic and multi-party rule.

“It will be, as it has been, a bumpy road to the Promised Land. But we will not be daunted. We will not be intimidated.  We shall defeat the monster of racism.

Nagamootoo, who resigned from the People’s Progressive Party (PPP) after more than 40 years and joined the Alliance For Change (AFC) as its Vice Chairman, said the restoration of electoral democracy in 1992 started a hopeful process but did not bring healing.  He hopes that the coalition between the AFC and David Granger’s A Partnership for National Unity (APNU) will bring an end to the new cycle of autocratic, one-party rule, corruption and complicity in criminal enterprises.  

“Since 1955, a single occurrence called “the split” had wounded our Guyanese civilization. It occasioned political and ethnic division. But today, today – after 60 years – we are taking a conscious step to put the healing balm to the scars of that division. Today, we hold out a new promise of addressing the legacy of ethnic insecurity in Guyana,” he said in his address.

Guyana entered into period of race-based politics after the PPP split into two into the Afro-Guyanese dominated People’s National Congress (PNC), which is today the largest partner in APNU, and the largely East Indian-based PPP.

Referring to the coalition’s merged symbols of AFC’s key and APNU’s hand, the veteran politician quipped “in our hand is the key to unity.”

YOu are such a fkin louse, you are even lower than yugi for fksakes. Sleazbag

That Jerry Jailall article is very powerful on national unity and healing.

While the PPP spends time digging up Burnham's jumbie, the Coalition is inspiring people by pointing to a future of working together and building together. When 2 leaders can put aside old feelings and embrace each other, Guyana wins, the people win.

A New day is coming for Guyana.  The PPP's tyranny will end.  The scamps will be gone.

Yuh know something, padna? Yuh got some redeeming quality, after all.

Have yuh bellyfull of fun hey. Only 19 days more.

There you go, yuji22. You've kicked your "national healing" overboard, onto the sewage outfall near the Bharriott.

Luckily the Coalition is a party of love, unity, and healing.  It's a step in the right direction -v- PPP gridlock.

I put forward a very honest proposal and many including yourself killed the idea before it was even considered.

I can now safely conclude that Guyanese want the same old political trend.

The PPP will win a landslide and we will have the same old whiners and complainers from the opposition benches.

Oh well..........

Yugi22 is not the sharpest knife in the drawer. He loves to play his majeera and prance around.

Mits,cut dah boy some slack.

Granger has said clearly, he wants to include the new Opposition (PPP).

PPP has made no such promise or stated any intention to unite.

The PPP only wants to unite with its parasitic Friends and Family.

No democracy can remain healthy unless there is an affective and assertive opposition.  If the PPP, PNC, and AFc all get together they will all be stealing and there will be no one to stop them.

APNU and AFC shall be the gov't.  Once the PPP learns its lesson, and Jagdeo flees to Dubai, they will evolve into an effective opposition, and maybe they might win one day, with a cross ethnic alliance.
