Political party in Guyana

The Democratic Labour Movement (DLM) was a political party in Guyana.

History

The party was established in 1982,[1] In the 1985 general elections it received only 0.7% of the vote and failed to win a seat.[2] Following the elections, it joined the Patriotic Coalition for Democracy, an alliance of five parties calling for free and fair elections.[3] This was achieved in 1992, but the DLM saw its share of the vote fall to 0.5% and it remained without parliamentary representation. The party did not contest any further elections.[4]
