The People’s Progressive Party Civic (PPP/C) plans to expand its membership significantly ahead of the next national elections, focusing heavily on women and youth.
This is according to Guyana’s Vice President, who is also the party’s General Secretary, Dr. Bharrat Jagdeo.
At a press conference on Thursday, the Vice President said the next elections will be held in 2031. Ahead of those elections, he said the party will be focused on strengthening itself.
“We will build out the women’s movement to a strong, vibrant women’s organisation… and expand the work with the young people through the Progressive Youth Organisation (moving from) 15,000 members to 30,000,” he said.
The PPP/C was re-elected last month following the 2025 General and Regional Elections. The party increased its majority, now holding 36 of the 65 seats in the National Assembly. Jagdeo described this as a “landslide victory.”
