THE ruling People’s Progressive Party (PPP) has activated its “election machinery” in anticipation of President Donald Ramotar’s announcement of a date for early general and regional elections.“The Party is well underway with its preparations for the imminent elections, already we have started to mobilise volunteers and activate our elections machinery,” said PPP General Secretary, Clement Rohee.
He made the disclosure at the party’s weekly press conference yesterday at Freedom House, Robb Street.
According to Rohee, the PPP is ready for a move to general and regional elections. “We have never been afraid of elections,” Rohee declared.
The PPP General Secretary added that having gauged the sentiments of the Guyanese people, the ruling party is confident of regaining its majority at the next elections.

“The mood was one of optimism with encouraging signs that the PPP/C would win a comfortable majority of the votes whenever elections are held thereby being in a much better position to continue with its development agenda without let or hindrance by opposition parties.” – PPP General Secretary Clement Rohee

WINNING COMFORTABLE MAJORITY
He said, “The mood was one of optimism with encouraging signs that the PPP/C would win a comfortable majority of the votes whenever elections are held, thereby being in a much better position to continue with its development agenda without let or hindrance by Opposition parties.”

SHOW OF SUPPORT
Rohee highlighted that the Party’s community meetings in all 10 Regions of Guyana, up to the end of last year, were encouraging.
“The People’s Progressive Party is encouraged by the show of support it has been receiving from Party members, supporters and members of the wider community during the several party outreaches conducted by the Party before the holiday season,” he said.
The Party’s General Secretary stated that, in addition to the encouraging show of support, Guyanese who turned out to the meetings used the opportunity to express satisfaction with the Party’s role in ensuring their concerns are addressed.
Consequently, he added that party members and supporters, during those meetings and outreaches, pledged their continuing support to the Party and their commitment to work untiringly to realise a complete victory for the party in the upcoming elections.
“The PPP will soon re-commence its countrywide outreach programme with a series of bottom house and community meetings planned. Party leaders will fan out to coastal and hinterland regions in the coming weeks,” Rohee concluded.
