In advance of Friday’s PPP/C no-confidence motion, the APNU+AFC government yesterday underlined its achievements since 2015 and called on “all patriotic Guyanese and their organizations to let their voices be heard: “‘No’ to the motion! ‘Yes’ to confidence!”
The government statement came a day after Opposition Leader Bharrat Jagdeo urged APNI+AFC MPs to vote their conscience on the motion. The government controls 33 seats in parliament while the PPP/C has 32. For the motion to succeed, the PPP/C would need a majority and both sides are expected to crack the whip to ensure that their MPs turn up in full force and adhere to their positions. Were the motion to succeed, new general elections would have to be called.
Following its Cabinet meeting yesterday, the government issued a statement on its record since 2015 and acknowledged that there had been missteps.
