GEORGETOWN, Guyana (AP) - President Bharrat Jagdeo was sworn in to a second term Saturday, pledging to work with the opposition to bridge racial divides in Guyana.
More than 1,000 people — including diplomats and opposition lawmakers — attended the ceremony held on the lawns of Jagdeo's residence, known as State House.
"We can allow our real and perceived differences to divide us to our peril and dissipate our national energies, or we can resolve to harmonize our diversity to our national benefit, if not glory. It is a destiny we have to choose," he said. "I know we will choose harmony, respect and hope."
