What APNU stands for

The PPP is its effort to continue tired old politics in Guyana keeps saying that APNU is the PNC. They tuIt is a grouprn up stale old sayings that a leopard never changes its stripes. APNU represents a major change in Guyana. APNU is a grouping of parties and interest groups that range from a huge mass party like the PNC to significant smaller groups like GAP, JFA and WPA.

The PPP has failed to acknowledge that its main rival the PNC has changed greatly. It has chosen a Presidential candidate that does not fit the typical mould of Guyanese leaders. David Granger is a respected intellectual--a historian who has devoted many years of his life studying significant patterns in Guyanese history. David Granger has also had a distinguished military career and has studied at military academies in five countries.

On a personal level David is a good listener and has an engaging personality. David came into politics only a year ago and in that time has managed to win the endorsement of the PNC membership after an unprecedented series of public debates and voting from the membership of the party. David Granger then reached out to other parties and groups . He even won over the leadership of the WPA who were sworn enemies of the PNC for over 35 years.

The young people who now support APNU are quite different from electors of the past. With their blackberries, Facebook and the Internet they can share ideas quickly and interact with many important people. The PPP is terrified of an electorate that cannot be easily manipulated.

Read what APNU stands for. It is a clearly set out program for change in Guyana.
