BlueCAPS welcomes the announcement of a date for General and Regional Elections by His Excellency President Donald Ramotar.
We are eager to have our elected representatives back in Parliament attending to the business of the people.
At this time we encourage all political parties to focus their campaign efforts on matters of importance to the people and, at all costs, avoid negative and destructive tactics such as fear mongering and race baiting.
The political leaders are our elected representatives and should always put the business of the people before personal agendas and ambitions.
We would like to reiterate our belief that Local Government Elections is the fastest way to see almost immediate change at the community level. We strongly urge the party/parties that constitute the next government to place great emphasis on ensuring Local Government Elections are held shortly thereafter.
While the changing of the date for CXC and CAPE exams are welcomed, we believe the unnecessary costs associated could have and should have been avoided.
Consultations between the running party and the opposition parties should be more frequent to avoid similar situations in the future.
Finally, we encourage all eligible voters to ensure their names are on the voters list and to exercise their democratic right to vote on the assigned date. We urge citizens to ensure peace and stability continues during the elections period.
Our fore parents took up arms to secure our right to vote, it should not be treated lightly.
Respectfully
BlueCAPS
