The People’s Progressive Party Civic (PPP/C) got a “landslide victory” in the 2025 General and Regional Elections, the party’s General Secretary, Dr. Bharrat Jagdeo, said at his press conference on Thursday.
The elections were held on Monday and by Tuesday, nearly all of the Statements of Poll (SOP) were uploaded to the Guyana Elections Commission’s (GECOM) website. And those SOPs, alongside the official district declarations shared on Wednesday, show a victory for the PPP/C.
Highlighting the numbers, Jagdeo said the PPP/C got 46,513 more votes than the other five contesting parties combined. That gave the party 55.32% of the overall votes cast, 10.8% more than the other parties.
Contrastingly, Jagdeo said the party got 50.7% of the total votes cast in 2020; that amounted to 6,390 more votes than the other parties contesting then.
So with these gains made, Jagdeo hailed the “incredible” results.
“This is a landslide by any standard
“This result is not close by any standard, any standard in the world. Especially considering 2020,” Jagdeo said.
The SOPs show that the PPP/C has won eight of the country’s 10 electoral districts – Districts 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8 and 9.
The newcomer, We Invest in Nationhood (W.I.N.) party, led by billionaire Azruddin Mohamed, who is sanctioned by the United States for bribery and corruption, has won the other two Districts. The fortunes of W.I.N will put it as the main opposition party, dethroning the Aubrey Norton-led PNC.
However, APNU has requested a recount of sub-district four of Region Four. That recount is ongoing, though GECOM Commissioner Sase Gunraj said this is an attempt to “delay the inevitable.”
