which was planned several weeks ago, as an initiative to bolster party solidarity and reinforce backing for the PNCR for the forthcoming elections.

Granger was quoted in the release as saying that his mission will be “to emphasise the importance of party unity and to attract former members to return to the party.”

The visit will include press conferences, radio programme interviews, town hall meetings and attendance at a church service. There will also be visits with party members and Guyana Defence Force veterans.
