City Mayor Hamilton Green yesterday ruled out seeking another term.
Green, 80, has served as Mayor since 1996.
He has continued to hold office due to continuous delays in the holding of local government elections, which have not been conducted since 1994.
Green, who was Prime Minister under the PNC government before a split from that party in 1993, contested local government elections under his own party, the Good & Green Guyana, and he was voted in mayor.
Speaking after he was awarded the Order of Roraima yesterday, Green said he hoped to serve the country further but he ruled out running for mayor again as he believes that a young person should be found who is willing to take on the mantle and run with the city and “make Georgetown and Guyana a great place.”
