Scores of APNU+AFC coalition government supporters took to the streets in key areas around the country yesterday to press for a national house-to-house registration exercise to be held before the holding of the next general and regional elections.

Protests were held in Georgetown, Essequibo, Berbice, Mabaruma and other areas close to the various Guyana Elections Commission (GECOM) offices.

In Georgetown, at the junction of Main and Lamaha streets, protestors marched in a circle with placards in their hands. Decked out in the green and gold colours of the coalition, supporters were heard chanting, “Credible Registration! Credible Elections!” There was also, “The youths must vote!” And, “House-to-house is a must!”
