Former army Chief-of-Staff Rear Admiral (rtd) Gary Best has endorsed the APNU+AFC coalition for the May 11th general elections, saying it is “an A-Team” that is capable of managing the affairs of the country now and in the future.
“Each of these two political parties worked vigorously, though independently, to put an end to division in our country,” Best said in a statement issued yesterday.
“Their bold decision to work together is not only manifest of a deep commitment to unity politics, and unity leadership, but also the beginning of a movement for unity in everything we do as a nation. We should all join in this effort,” he added.
According to Best, who served as Chief-of-Staff under successive PPP/C administrations from 2007 to 2013, the expressed intentions of the APNU-AFC coalition in governing Guyana under the rubric of transparency, unity, equity, security, youth development and women empowerment are in line with his own socio-political and nationalistic views as a citizen.
In particular, he noted that he has confidence that coalition presidential candidate, Brigadier (rtd) David Granger, will act fairly, justly and equitably in handling the affairs of the nation. He also noted his confidence that the prime ministerial candidate, Moses Nagamootoo, will be transparent, fair and compassionate in the day to day management of our nation’s business. “I wish the APNU-AFC coalition success at the 2015 elections and urge every voter to vote APNU-AFC. It is time for Change,” Best added.
