The opposition grouping, A Partnership for National Unity (APNU) says it has forced the ruling People's Progressive Party Civic (PPP/C) government to act more responsible in and out of Parliament.
The APNU and the other opposition party, the Alliance for Change (AFC), control 33 of the 65 seats in the National Assembly.
APNU said that the government started 2012 'in a confrontational and aggressive manner' and that the opposition has been able to oppose the ruling party ‘by its principled stand on several issues of national importance’.
