Dear Editor,
The announcement that an APNU meeting was held and at that meeting, Vincent Henry of GAP was ‘elected’ as the new chairman of APNU must be seen for what it is; a coup being mounted against the democratically elected PNC leader, Aubrey Norton, by the Granger/Harmon faction and its surrogate candidate Roysdale Forde.

Dear Editor,

Dear Editor,
The recent repeated utterance by our Vice-President, asserting that the Opposition is unable to function irrespective of who were in the leadership positions, is to the minds of many of us fair-minded and democratic Guyanese just an effort to discredit this vital part of the Government, and to continue to perform what we believe unilaterally as a dictatorship.
