Former The New Movement Executive, Dr Josh Kanhai is running as an independent candidate for Constituency Five in Georgetown – Sophia, Turekeyen, Pattensen at the June 12 Local Government Elections.

Kanhai presented his documentation on Nomination Day yesterday at the Critchlow Labour College.

On his Facebook page he said: “I stand before you today as a candidate for the upcoming local government election, humbled by the opportunity to represent you and our beautiful city. I am running as an independent candidate, free from the shackles of political parties and special interest groups, so that I can truly serve you and work towards a brighter future for us all.

Georgetown is a city with great potential, but we face numerous challenges that have been neglected for far too long. Our roads need repair, our children and young people require better resources, the garbage need control, the flooding needs a solution and our businesses need support to thrive. It is time for a change, and I am here to bring that change to our city.

“I believe in transparency, accountability, and accessibility. As a leader, I will be fully transparent with my decisions and actions, ensuring that you are involved in the decision-making process every step of the way. I will be accountable to you, the people, and will work tirelessly to ensure that your voices are heard and your needs are addressed. I will be accessible to each and every one of you, and will make your concerns my top priority”.
