There were of course, some delays and hiccups which caused some tense,Cheap NFL Jerseys, if not frightening moments. Through it all however,Cheap NFL Jerseys Wholesale, we as a people and a nation showed the level of patience that prevented us from going down that path of senseless violence and destruction from which it would have been difficult to recover.As the coalition celebrates its electoral success in the coming days, it is critical that it realizes the magnitude of the work ahead. A win by less than 10,000 votes is a clear indication that there is a significant constituency that needs to be convinced of the new government’s good intentions.Both sides of the divide during the election season, shows clearly that there is a lot of work to be done. We must caution, however, that the solution is not to focus only on allaying the fears of one section of the population but the establishment of a comprehensive social compact that ensures that all groups are comfortable living and prospering in Guyana as is their right as citizens.The coalition has already indicated that it is willing to work with the opposition but it is also for the opposition to play the responsible role in Parliament expected in a functioning democracy. The last few days were not encouraging, of course, but we are willing to assume that these are temporary emotions triggered by a loss at the polls.It is said that third time is the charm. Once again, we have been given another opportunity to govern ourselves in a manner that will realize the potential that for the past 50 years has been nothing more than a broken promise. It is important we do not squander the opportunity. We may not get it again.We at the Chamber therefore wish the new government all success and look forward to the forging of the partnerships so critical to the nation’s economic future.**Sir Ron SandersYour Excellency President David Granger; Hon Prime Minister Moses NagamootooCongratulations on the success of the coalition of the APNU and the AFC at the May 11 General Elections.Your government,China Jerseys, consisting of six political parties, is a strong foundation for national cohesion to which I know you are both deeply committed.I wish you good fortune in the task of building Guyana in the context of its national motto, “One People, One Nation, One Destiny”.The future of Guyana holds much promise for all its people.

But for now, all Guyanese should congratulate APNU+AFC coalition on a well-deserved electoral win which places it in the driver’s seat to advance nation building, fully inclusive of the poor and vulnerable.Let me also use this window of opportunity to wish the coalition well in the formidable tasks that lie ahead.”Prem Misir**From the British High CommissionLet me take this opportunity to congratulate the people of Guyana following the formal declaration of results of the 2015 General and Regional elections. This was a hard fought campaign and the high level of participation is to be commended.Let me also take this opportunity to congratulate David Granger, on his swearing in as the new President of the Cooperative Republic of Guyana. I look forward to working with him and his team during the coming years.It is also important to thank former President Ramotar and those who served in his government for their service to Guyana.As we move forward now is the time to look to inclusiveness and reconciliation. As President Granger said in his speech the new government must represent the will of all the people of Guyana. The UK stands ready to assist with this process.High CommissionerGreg Quinn |
