Statement from AFC
The Alliance For Change is deeply saddened to announce the passing of one of our longest-serving and most dedicated members, Former Minister Valerie Garrido-Lowe, who died early this morning as a result of a heart attack.
Valerie Garrido-Lowe was not only a stalwart of our party from its earliest days but a fearless advocate for the people of Guyana. She served with distinction as Minister within the Ministry of Indigenous Peoples’ Affairs from 2015 to 2020, where she worked tirelessly to empower Amerindian communities and protect their rights and livelihoods. Her passionate voice, unwavering commitment, and sincere compassion earned her the respect and admiration of all who worked alongside her.
Minister Garrido-Lowe was a trailblazer — a woman of courage, integrity, and deep conviction. She dedicated her life to public service and to the cause of building a better Guyana. Her contributions to national development and to the growth of the AFC will forever be remembered and cherished.
We extend our deepest condolences to her children, family members, friends, and all those whose lives she touched. Valerie’s passing is a profound loss not only to our party but to the entire nation.
Further updates will be provided as they become available.
May her soul rest in eternal peace.
