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 experiencing unprecedented strength, as demonstrated by its significant support nationwide.

Nevertheless, he expressed confidence that the PPP maintains robust support that defies conventional expectations. He referenced the recent local government elections as evidence of the party’s strength, stating, “If you look at the results across the country, you will see that the PPP now is probably stronger than it ever was before.”

The PPP secured increased votes in Linden and Georgetown during the last local elections, areas that have historically supported the PNC opposition. Jagdeo emphasized that these results indicate a growing acceptance of the PPP as an inclusive, multiethnic party. He also confirmed that the party remains focused and will intensify its campaigning efforts as elections approach, stating, “You’re going to see us campaigning harder than before. “

The party’s recent gains in local elections reflect its multiethnic appeal and commitment to hard campaigning in the face of upcoming elections. Jagdeo’s remarks underscore the party’s resilience and readiness for the electoral landscape.
