THERE is a lot of talk about the decisions by young people to endorse the PPP/C, but it is important to understand that the youths that chose to “RISE UP” and be heard are making a decision that is informed and conscious. It is a decision that is rooted in the development of our country, and an independent understanding of where Guyana has come from, and the direction of growth we are heading to. The Opposition would want us to believe that they can do better, but let them go and tell their young followers exactly why they blocked or negatively impacted the progress of over 17 initiatives or projects that are vital for Guyana’s development in just three short years. Can we really trust them to do anything better for five years to come?  Apart from everything else this Government has done for Guyana, they have made a special effort to enlighten young people to use their freedom to make the right decision for their country’s future; it is a foundation the PPP/C has built from the vision of Dr. Jagan, who’s main intention was to have a country where youths will think freely, be creative, own businesses, travel the world, and become what they dream to be. It is also ironic that it is this same foundation that the current Opposition is making use of to peddle their propaganda and false news.
Never before in our history have you seen so many brilliant and self-driven young Guyanese “RISE UP” and take a stand to defend their freedom to choose. We are more outspoken; we are speaking to tangible and real issues that we care about; we are defending our right to vote; and we are defending our country’s future.
We see that our future rests squarely in the PPP/C camp. We support the institution of the PPP/C that is rooted in progressive thinking, and a better place for all Guyanese to live and develop in peace and prosperity.
On May 11, we are coming out in our numbers to defend what the PPP/C, as an institution, stands for, because we have seen the signs of a great future with this Government.
Moving forward with the PPP/C!
