No elections campaigning for August 1 in deference to Emancipation Day – PPP/C

 

The People’s Progressive Party/Civic (PPP/C) will not be holding any Elections Campaign public meetings for tomorrow August 1 in deference to the observance of Emancipation Day 2006.

The PPP/C believes that this occasion should be spared the partisan rhetoric and Guyanese be not distracted from participating in and marking this most important event of our country – the abolition of slavery.

The PPP/C urges all Guyanese to reflect on the tremendous sacrifices endured by our African fore-parents who were enslaved and won their freedom 172 years ago and which inspired subsequent struggles for our country’s and people’s freedom and to participate in its commemoration and celebration.
