THE APNU+AFC Coalition has urged all Guyanese to respect the will of the people as exercised in the General and Regional Elections of Monday March 2, 2020.
Further, the APNU+AFC Coalition calls on all Guyanese to conduct themselves in a peaceful and law-abiding manner as they go about their daily activities. The coalition’s call comes amid violent protests on the East Coast Demerara and on the West Berbice by supporters of the People’s Progressive Party. Party supporters openly brandished weapons; stoned David ‘G’ school buses resulting in injuries to students and also blocked the roadways with fiery barricades.
However, the APNU+AFC has implored citizens to remain calm and not to engage in any act whatsoever to disrupt national life or cause any strife or inconvenience. “APNU+AFC Coalition commends the hundreds of thousands of Guyanese who exercised their right to vote on Monday and who have remained calm and peaceful as we all await the final declaration of results by the Guyana Elections Commission,” the statement ended.
