The Alliance For Change tonight said it is pleased that Guyana has entered into a new political dispensation following the declaration of results for the General and Regional Elections 2011.
“The national political landscape has forever been changed for the better in that the people’s representatives in Parliament must find common ground and work together for the benefit of Guyanese”, the party said referring to the fact that the though the PPP/C has won the presidency it doesn’t have control of Parliament.
“These results should engender broader participation of the representatives of the people in Parliament. This is a win for all Guyana and for all Guyanese”, the party said in a statement.
It said that the results have positioned the AFC in a pivotal position in Parliament.
The AFC thanked the Guyanese electorate in general and particularly those who have supported it at the polls and also thanked all those who worked for the Party all across Guyana.
The AFC also paid tribute to the staff of GECOM, the media and the Observer teams, the security forces and “all other patriotic forces that worked to see us through”.
It dedicated its results to the memory and life’s work of Sheila Holder, its late founder leader.
