Effectively mobilised, civil society’s energies can have a positive impact on national elections, according to the Guyana Human Rights Association (GHRA).
In a statement on Thursday, the GHRA noted that national elections have polarized Guyanese society politically and ethnically for the past fifty years and on this occasion it is occurring when the issues facing Guyana require a unified national response.
GHRA said that despite the fact that changing political demographics are gradually undermining traditional ethnic alignments, the race play-book continues to be a determining factor in elections.
