Guyana Country in South America

Guyana, officially the Co-operative Republic of Guyana, is a country on the northern mainland of South America. It is often considered part of the Caribbean region because of its strong cultural, historical, and political ties with other Anglo-Caribbean countries and the Caribbean Community (CARICOM). Guyana is bordered by the Atlantic Ocean to the north, Brazil to the south and southwest, Venezuela to the west, and Suriname to the east. With an area of 215,000 square kilometres (83,000 sq mi), Guyana is the third-smallest sovereign state on mainland South America after Uruguay and Suriname.

History

The party was established in 1994 by former Prime Minister Hamilton Green after he was expelled from the People's National Congress, [1] and was initially named the Forum for Democracy, [2] before becoming Good and Green Georgetown. The 1994 Georgetown City Council elections saw GGG defeat the PNC and PPP, allowing Green to become mayor. [3]
