Unfortunately, less than a decade after that 2006 elections, that party will become an arm of the PNC thereby removing the goodwill that they were garnering and just about a decade after that 2006 elections, voters in the LGE would register their distancing from that party.

"On the morning of August 28, 2006, the city of Georgetown was filled with an eerie calm. People walked by, drove past each other, met in shops and market places with quiet politeness, unuttered optimism, whispers of disquiet and watchful prayers. Within this calm existed hope. For some that hope meant elections would bring the change they wanted, whether that change was a new party in power; another term for the incumbent party; the possibility that despite the historical patterns Guyanese would resist ethnic voting or that whatever the outcome Guyana would not record more destruction, more violence, or more killings. Many ordinary citizens simply had enough trauma, death, unrest, mayhem and political instability in the years following previous elections.
 
Did this uneasy quiet, unspoken silence which lasted the three days as  Guyana awaited election results and well after the announcement that the People’s Progressive Party Civic had returned to office for a fourth consecutive session mean peace? Did the absence of violence in the streets of Georgetown signal that people had nurtured their peaceful side? Or were they simply apathetic? The answer to this is multifaceted and as complex as the political history of the various ethnic groups living in Guyana. Yet, in a small but significant section of the population modest shouts and cheers of celebration could be heard. Only this time it was not from the camps of either of the old rivals but from the newly formed party, the Alliance for Change. Did this party capture the imagination of those who wanted peace? Or did their nascent emergence on the national scene also contribute to the peace writ large?"
