The International Center for Democracy (ICD) strongly encourages Guyanese to exercise their democratic rights to support the political party of their choice regardless of their race, religious beliefs etc.
The ICD has been monitoring the “Nomination Day” parade and noted that there were several individuals that once belonged to a prominent political party openly and boldly showed their support for another political party.
Many of those individuals that switched their political party support were quick to be labelled on social media by known political activists as “House Slaves”, “Soup Drinkers”, “Traitors” etc, and were further labelled as selling their souls.
The ICD strongly condemns political activists and politicians that are attempting to create racial division, threats, and instability and depriving Guyanese of their freedom to exercise their democratic rights.
The ICD will continue to monitor the political situation in Guyana, to ensure that Guyanese democratic rights are not trampled upon, to ensure democracy prevails, and that elections are free, fair and transparent.
