The Alliance For Change (AFC) mourns the passing of Calypso Monarch Vivian “VJ” Jordan even as it remembers him as a vibrant activist and candidate in the 2006 General and Regional Elections.
In a press release the AFC said VJ as he was popularly known, was one of the pioneers of its October 2005 launch. “His contribution to the success of the cause of change in Guyana will rank equally with his other well known personas of being Calypso Monarch and Indigenous Rights activist,” the party said.
The AFC said it will miss Jordan’s “effervescent presence, his compassion for the promotion of sport and culture, and his vibrant and positive approach to his work, which were an inspiration to all of us, and a source of immense pride to his Amerindian brothers and sisters.” The party extends condolences to Jordan’s relatives and friends.
