‘Respect the choices of people’ –– President Ali condemns opposition’s ‘disparaging, disrespectful’ attack on Afro-Guyanese
–– reaffirms commitment to build an inclusive society
PRESIDENT, Dr. Irfaan Ali has strongly denounced “disparaging and disrespectful” comments from opposition leaders about “money being used to buy Afro-Guyanese supporters” and the call for boycotts of businesses owned by persons of this ethnicity. In a live broadcast from State House, the President called for a new paradigm in which national development, democracy, tolerance,
and respect are given priority over division and dishonour. On Nomination Day, former Mayor of Georgetown Patricia Chase-Green; former PNCR Councillor Trichria Richards; a former independent city councillor for the Albouystown/Charlestown constituency, popular radio announcer Malcolm Ferreira, and many others joined the PPP/C ahead of the Local

The crossover of Chase-Green and other prominent figures has been seen as a major blow to the Opposition, which has since resorted to a campaign to discredit their former members’ credibility. During the live broadcast, the President expressed his disappointment at the negative comments made by some leaders in politics,
