Congratulating Guyana on its 46th Republic Day Anniversary, US President Barack Obama has lauded plans for Local Government Elections in March.
In a message to President David Granger, Obama said:
“The bonds of friendship and cooperation between our two countries have never been stronger, grounded in our shared commitments to citizen security, improved governance, and inclusive democracy.
“These commitments are exemplified in Guyana by the announcement that local government elections will resume and be held in March for the first time since 1994.
Local elections are essential to bolstering good governance, development, and respect for the rule of law. Your efforts to ensure broad participation and an informed electorate will contribute to successful elections and a bright future for Guyana.”
