While boasting that it was the best performing new party at the 2020 regional and general elections, the 10-month-old Change Guyana party has announced that it is being dissolved.

In a statement signed by the party’s Chairman Nigel Hinds, it’s Prime Ministerial Candidate Mishka Puran and three other executive members, it was noted that the majority of the party’s leadership made the decision that the dissolution of Change Guyana as a Political Party is in the best interest of its members and supporters.

The party’s founder and presidential candidate Robert Badal was not in agreement with the decision and did not add his name to the statement.

In thanking its supporters, Change Guyana said “of the six new parties that contested in Guyana’s March 2020 elections, Change Guyana received the second most votes in the Regional Elections and third most votes in the General Elections, the results stands as testimony to our courageous outreach efforts across Guyana and the need for implementation of the socio-economic policies set out in our manifesto.”

The party said “unique and outstanding contributions made by Change Guyana Party over its ten months of existence – set out core economic and social policies that speak to the socio-economic needs of Guyana, by outlining policies for massive poverty alleviation, focused job creation, inclusive economic development, restructuring of a burdensome tax system and servant leadership.”

It noted that its uncompromising and courageous conduct expressed in its writings and actions to ensure a democratic transition based on the majority votes resulting from Guyana’s March 2, 2020 General and Regional elections, was second to none.

The party said its former leaders and members can now work independently or collectively towards building a new political movement or political party or pursue their own goals while always being appreciative of those individuals who supported and continue to seek a change in the political culture of Guyana.

Outside of the major parties, the Change Guyana party was the busiest on the election campaign trail during the last elections. It also campaigned heavily on social media.
