The People’s National Congress Reform (PNCR) and the Guyana Action Party (GAP) have had a meeting on Thursday, December 12, during which discussions were had on the APNU+AFC coalition government, the problems facing coalition politics, and the key issues affecting Guyana. More importantly, discussions were focused on viable solutions to those problems.
These parties have issued a joint statement in which they adverted that they agree there is need to set up a forum to ensure all parties participate in the decision-making process; and they agree that a mechanism should be established and processes determined for resolving conflict between or among coalition partners.
Their joint statement has also said, “It was also agreed that the parties need to have a well-defined and agreed political platform and philosophy to guide our decision-making and political actions.”
Further, both parties have agreed that the people of Guyana want members of these parties to work as a coalition, since it is the best choice for Guyana; and therefore, both parties have committed to working “to ensure that we enter the 2025 General and Regional Elections as part of the A Partnership for National Unity and a broad coalition”.
The coalition partners have, moreover, emphasized their shared commitment to promoting the welfare and development of the Guyanese people.
The meeting is seen by both parties as an important step forward in strengthening the partnership between the PNCR and GAP, both of whom are members of the APNU.
The parties have also expressed their enthusiasm for working together to address the challenges facing Guyana, and to promote a brighter future for all citizens. The PNCR and GAP have agreed to continue to work together to advance their shared goals and objectives.
The meeting was attended by Leader of the PNCR, Aubrey Norton; General Secretary of the PNCR, Sherwin Benjamin; and Leader of GAP, Vincent Henry, along with the Chairman of GAP, Errol Ross.
