Noting that there exist today two “factions” within the Democratic Party, Mr Mancham appealed to all DP supporters “to remember our motto of Peace, Progress & Prosperity – and our traditional policy that the interest of our people is more important than just the quest for power – and in this situation try to bring about as soon as possible unity within the DP umbrella”.
“With unity, the DP would be able to have a more secure and thriving future, remaining faithful to its slogan of Peace, Progress & Prosperity,” Mr Mancham added.
