As a New and United Guyana (ANUG) moves towards the 2020 general elections, it will be targetting those voters who see no future in the ethnic politics that have dominated Guyana, according to its presidential candidate Ralph Ramkarran.
During an interview with Sunday Stabroek, Ramkarran reiterated that his experience in local politics as a member of the People’s Progressive Party (PPP) and a former two term Speaker of the National Assembly has shown him that Guyana is not developing because of political instability, which drives away the investment necessary for economic development.
“The message we hope will be successful is that we want to offer a new vision for the country as we go forward. The old vision is for two large ethnic parties to appeal to two large ethnic groups in Guyana for their basic support. This has been made possible by the fact that there are two large ethnic groups which have spawned these two main political parties,” he explained.
