With his government coming under increasing pressure to abide by a motion of no confidence passed against it on December 21 mandating that new elections be held within 90 days, President David Granger today extended an olive branch to the opposition saying that there are opportunities for “enhanced political cooperation”.
In his New Year’s address to the nation, the Head of State made no direct reference to the no-confidence motion but mentioned that “recent developments in the National Assembly have created opportunities for enhanced political cooperation.”
“Meetings between the Government and Opposition will take place in the new year to discuss and determine the way forward for our country. Your government is prepared to work with the Opposition to ensure that our national objectives are achieved and that 2019 can be a satisfactory year for all,” he stressed.
