APNU+AFC Presidential candidate David Granger returned to Georgetown on Monday after two days of campaigning in the Upper Demerara-Upper Berbice Region (Region No.10), a release from APNU+AFC said yesterday.

Addressing a public meeting at the Atonement Primary School, Ebini, Upper Berbice River, the release said that Granger assured residents that there would be serious education restructuring under a new administration if the APNU+AFC coalition was to win the upcoming elections.
