Op­po­si­tion Leader Kam­la Per­sad Biss­esar has con­grat­u­lat­ed new­ly ap­point­ed Guyanese Pres­i­dent Dr Mo­hammed Ir­fann Ali.
In a press re­lease is­sued to­day, Per­sad-Biss­esar stat­ed even though Guyana’s Elec­tion faced many sig­nif­i­cant chal­lenges, democ­ra­cy and lib­er­ty pre­vailed in the end.

The fol­low­ing is a press re­lease from the Op­po­si­tion Leader:

As the Po­lit­i­cal Leader of the Unit­ed Na­tion­al Con­gress, I would like to sin­cere­ly con­grat­u­late new­ly sworn-in Pres­i­dent of Guyana, His Ex­cel­len­cy Dr. Mo­hamed Ir­faan Ali.

While the process of Guyana’s Gen­er­al Elec­tion faced many sig­nif­i­cant chal­lenges in the past months, democ­ra­cy and lib­er­ty have pre­vailed in the end.

The strong show­ing in the polls by Dr. Ali as well as his par­ty, the Peo­ples Pro­gres­sive Par­ty (PPP), was a clear re­flec­tion of the con­fi­dence and faith that the cit­i­zens of Guyana have in the vi­sion which the PPP put for­ward in their cam­paign, ful­fill­ing the old say­ing, "the voice of the peo­ple is the voice of God".

Based on his par­ty's cam­paign theme, "We are stronger to­geth­er", there is no doubt that the ex­per­tise, sol­id vi­sion, as well as ex­pe­ri­ence of Dr. Ali and his team, would en­sure that Guyana con­tin­ues to go from strength to strength.

As a Caribbean re­gion, we will al­ways be grate­ful for the in­valu­able, rich con­tri­bu­tions our Guyanese neigh­bours have played in our his­to­ry, de­vel­op­ment and suc­cess on the Glob­al Stage. It is on this premise we wish the in­com­ing ad­min­is­tra­tion much suc­cess not on­ly in achiev­ing their man­i­festo plans but al­so work­ing to unite the peo­ple of Guyana, en­abling them to max­i­mize their true po­ten­tial and cre­ate a stronger coun­ty.

As the peo­ple of Guyana wel­come the dawn of new na­tion­al lead­er­ship and blos­som­ing eco­nom­ic op­por­tu­ni­ties we ac­knowl­edge the con­tri­bu­tions of For­mer Pres­i­dent Granger dur­ing his term.

As com­mit­ted part­ners in Caribbean de­vel­op­ment, we of­fer our un­wa­ver­ing sup­port to the peo­ple of Guyana and they're new gov­ern­ment to en­sure that we work hand in hand not on­ly to mu­tu­al­ly ben­e­fit both na­tions but our re­gion as a whole.
