General Secretary of the People’s Progressive Party Civic (PPP/C), Dr Bharrat Jagdeo says the People’s National Congress Reform’s (PNCR) hatred for the people is what ultimately led that party to lose much of its support to the newly formed We Invest in Nationhood (WIN) body.
Based on the Statements of Poll (SOPs) shared online by the Guyana Elections Commission (GECOM) and district declarations, the incumbent PPP/C won the 2025 elections.
Surprisingly, WIN captured the second-highest number of votes and not the PNC-led A Partnership for National Unity (APNU). The PPP and PNC have been Guyana’s major political parties since independence, and Jagdeo said the party should now do much introspection.
“The PNC now has to go back to the drawing board and they have to decide whether their hatred of the PPP caused them to stop thinking. When a political party allows hatred of the other to dominate their tactics and political strategy, you will fail,” Jagdeo told reporters at a press conference on Thursday.
He added, “It’s a sad day for the PNC.”
Overall, six political parties contested the September 1 elections. The Guyana Elections Commission (GECOM) is slated to announce the official declaration of the results soon. That declaration has been stalled by a recount requested by APNU in sub-district four of Region Four.
