Guyanese want a new type of politics...

farmers, the poor, the unemployed and the dispossessed. They work to create a diversified, sustainable and inclusive economy to provide more jobs especially for women and youth, to enhance public safety, to minimize corruption, to strengthen public institutions, to significantly reduce poverty and income inequality in all ethnic communities, to improve public services and to establish world-class education and healthcare systems.

Principled politicians work to implement Article 13 of the Constitution which mandates that all citizens’ organizations must be involved in the management and decision-making of the State. They support the creation of a level-playing-field for all ethnic communities to equally access government patronage, state land, tax incentives, public contracts, local services, public service jobs, fair wages, professional jobs, business and educational opportunities, financing, markets, and drainage and irrigation services.

Principled politicians also focus on improving Guyana’s Human Development Index (HDI) to end the inequalities in women’s health and inequalities in the empowerment of women and youth. Their priorities are [a] decreasing the very high mortality rate for women who give birth and preventing violence against women and girls; [b] eradicating the high income gap between females and males, [ c] increasing the participation of women in the labour force, in senior and middle management positions and in elected positions at the national, regional and local levels; [d] improving access to the internet across schools and communities; [ e] increasing the participation of male youth in secondary schools; [f] lowering high unemployment among youth; and [g] lowering the high suicide rate.

Principled politicians work to end the strained and confrontational relations between the PPP/C and the APNU+AFC. They believe in making the Guyana dream a reality when, all the sons and daughters of our ethnic communities and the diaspora, will sit equally, in sisterhood and brotherhood at the decision-making table, and use their wisdom and their good characters to chart the economic, social, political and constitutional future of the nation. Yours faithfully,
