As the nation hold its breath for the announcement of the dissolution of the National Assembly and a possible date for
President Donald Ramotar
the hosting of General and Regional Elections, President Donald Ramotar said the matter will not be addressed in his New Year’s Day message to the nation.
The announcement of the dissolution of Parliament and General Elections has to be made by President Donald Ramotar.
President Ramotar in a telephone interview with Guyana Times on Sunday said that it is an established custom for the President to address the nation on the dawn of a new year, but there was nothing extra “special” in his upcoming address.
He explained that there will be “no announcement for elections in my New Year’s message”. Earlier this month, the President had announced that Guyana will soon go to polls.
“I have considered and I have consulted and this is my resolve. We will go to elections. I have also since written to the international community alerting them to the possibility of early elections and the desire for them to field observer missions,” he said.
