General Secretary of the PPP/C and Vice President of Guyana, Dr Bharrat Jagdeo, took the stage of the party’s final rally on Saturday at Lusignan, East Coast Demerara and outlined three major reasons why the party should be re-elected at the September 1 general and regional elections.
Speaking to thousands of supporters, Jagdeo’s first reason is that the PPP/C is the only party that is seeking to bridge the racial barrier in Guyana.
“Guyana will achieve sustained prosperity only if it goes forward as a united country, and that is why the PPP is the only party that is standing strong to bring people together.
“The orders are still spreading fear. They’re trying to tell Afro-Guyanese that you cannot trust the PPP. Well, you look at our five years of track record, and Afro-Guyanese have made the greatest progress ever in our history, compared to APNU,” Jagdeo said.
His second reason is that the PPP keeps its commitments.
“Rarely, in this world, do you find politicians and political parties who will put down a list of ideas and promises and then work hard to deliver on them.
“And every one of you would have read the flyers now that we have circulated them, and you would see the list of promises we made in 2020, and today, we have kept every one of them.”
The third reason the Vice President listed is leadership. He referenced the WIN party, led by United States-sanctioned businessman Azruddin Mohamed, highlighting that they have yet to name their Presidential Candidate.
“In any country, you need strong leadership to take our country forward. You have heard the comparisons before. You have one leader of WIN, he has not even named his prime ministerial candidate, as of tonight.
“The guy can’t even read as well as your ten-year-old would. They hide him around the country. They do interviews among themselves, and they hide from the media. He has not had a single press conference. He can’t represent us locally, much less abroad.
“How will he keep us safe from Venezuela, which has its eyes on our country?
They run a social media campaign because on social media a Dumbo could look smart, like him. And so, that’s no choice for anyone,” the General Secretary said.
He then turned his attention to the Presidential Candidate of the main opposition APNU, Aubrey Norton.
“Norton is incapable of managing anything. So, you’re risking your entire future, and this is for people at home and those who were not undecided up to now.”
He urged the electorate to stay steadfast with the PPP/C, noting that “leadership matters, and on this stage , we have had accumulated leadership.”
