Prime Minister Mark Phillips has said that the PPP/C government is prepared to work with the new Leader of the Opposition but only if its legitimacy is recognised.
“I would like to reiterate our government’s position that we are ready to work with whoever is appointed or elected Leader of the Opposition in the interest of Guyana. What we ask in return is for the new Leader of the Opposition to accept the legitimacy of our government,” Phillips told the National Assembly on Friday night during his contribution to the national budget debate.
Phillips reminded the House that the PPP/C government was elected by the people of Guyana following one of the “most” peaceful elections in the country’s history.
