Dr. Bharrat Jagdeo, the General Secretary of the People’s Progressive Party Civic (PPP/C) and Vice President of Guyana, asserted that the party is currently at its strongest, enjoying considerable support nationwide. He addressed concerns regarding the potential diversion of party allegiance to emerging political factions and emphasized that while migration among Indo-Guyanese may alter dynamics, these issues often arise before elections.
Jagdeo highlighted the PPP’s resilience in the political landscape. He referred to the recent local government elections as evidence of the party’s enduring popularity, stating, “Look at the local government elections and results… If you look at the results across the country, you will see that the PPP now is probably stronger than it ever was before.” In particular, the PPP made gains in Linden and Georgetown, areas previously dominated by the PNC opposition, suggesting a shift toward broader acceptance of the party as a multiethnic entity.
Despite the encouraging results, Jagdeo affirmed that the PPP will increase its campaign efforts, promising, “You’re going see us campaigning harder than before.” This commitment underscores the party’s intention to maintain and enhance its support base as it heads toward upcoming elections.
In conclusion, Dr. Bharrat Jagdeo has expressed confidence in the current strength of the People’s Progressive Party Civic, citing widespread support throughout Guyana, demonstrated by recent electoral successes. He remains committed to intensifying campaign efforts to ensure continuous engagement with the electorate, all while navigating the challenges posed by migration and emerging political competitors.
