Presidential Candidate of the A Partnership for National Unity/Alliance For Change (APNU/AFC) coalition, David Granger claimed that his recent visits to several hinterland communities reaped great success, noting that he received a “hearty welcome” from the villagers.

Over the past weekend, Granger noted that he and several members of the alliance conducted campaign visits to the Rupununi where the residents strongly expressed that they want “change”.

Granger revealed these sentiments during a telephone interview with Guyana Times International on Tuesday.

The Opposition Leader noted that there was noticeable need for change in those districts, something he intended to deliver once elected into office.

Granger disclosed that while the Amerindians revealed that they voted for the incumbent administration, the People’s Progressive Party/Civic (PPP/C), they expressed disgust with the way things were and the conditions of living.

“They understand the need for change and I’m sure they will make the right choice,” Granger said.

When prompted for transparency on what “change” he intended to deliver, Granger noted that during the visits, he extensively elaborated on his plan for a better lifestyle for the residents.

Recently, political commentator Dr Henry Jeffery noted that the representatives of the coalition did not give details of their plans to effect the change they keep promising Guyanese.

However, Granger contended that anyone who was attentive during its campaign outreaches would recognise that APNU/AFC had a plan to transform the hinterland regions.

Meanwhile, aside from the grand rallies the coalition has planned leading up to elections on May 11, Granger said he has always been reaching out to communities and listening to their concerns and cries for change.
