Dear Editor,
Like the neutral observers and abundant political supporters providing overwhelmingly positive feedback, our citizens are confident and convinced that the ‘red wave will prevail’ after June 12, 2023, Local Government Elections (LGEs).
Those who have participated in the leading-up LGE political campaign, the observers, and analysts have considered and are reacting to the continuous all-inclusive development endeavors of the People’s Progressive Party Civic.
With more information and the party’s tangible and visible demonstration of a genuine ‘One Guyana’ progression, one cannot deny a broad commitment to changing the guard in many constituencies and the expectation of an overwhelming sweep at these polls.

On the other hand, the Opposition PNC/APNU has been fighting to deny our citizens their constitutional democratic voting rights. They did everything possible to suppress and further delay the Guyana Elections Commission (GECOM) conduct of these LGEs, using undermining tactics at the GECOM commission level.
They also abused the extent to which the Judiciary accommodated their frivolous cases that mainly were rejected at the hearings and in which the rulings mandated that their representatives pay costs. Recognition of the PNC’s wicked attempts to fuel a race division has not gone unnoticed, and in the end, the shameless cabal has crawled from their cocoons, trying to appear relevant.
Given Guyana’s historical political context, it is essential to note that the PPP/C’s ground-breaking acceleration of a One Guyana platform for the broader benefits of our people cannot be underscored or go unnoticed.

Vice President and General Secretary of the PPP, Dr. Bharrat Jagdeo, and His Excellency President Dr. Irfaan Ali have provided exemplary and inspirational leadership. Unlike the PNC, we are witnessing a Government and all its Cabinet members walking the walk in every community.
Already, we see committed deliveries of over 80 percent of the PPPC 2020 General and Regional Elections Manifesto promises. Our nation is experiencing a leadership embracing and holding the hands of every ethnic group and, significantly, a clean, enthusiastic, and aggressive sense of activism in the various communities soliciting mass support. The party is demonstrating that it is about peaceful, purposeful, and progressive partnerships.

The PPP/C’s track record and plans are instructive in separating this party from any of its competitors. The works and organisation of the party on every occasion in power have contributed to positively transforming the more comprehensive developmental pillars. Over the past three years, the advancement of the massive housing drive, better health facilities, and development amenities, including the enhancement of communities with better roads, supportive irrigation, and street lights, have been part of the short to mid-term focus. Further, the continuous support of developing our most vital resources, our people, through education and skill set training, all demonstrate reasons for the electorate to vote for the PPP/C.
The PPP/C combination is undoubtedly the best organised political party in this country. Led by the President and General Secretary, they exercise the reach and ability to connect with the masses. Maintaining meaningful relationships has gotten more accessible following the PNC/APNU’s demonstration of untrustworthiness. The dynamic groundwork of activists has been warm and attractive to citizens since it contributes to a caring and lively relationship that will likely guarantee a massive victory.

Another overwhelming conviction is that the PPP/C government is undoubtedly raising the standard of living in this country. With the massive development pursuit, our property values have improved significantly compared to other parts of the world. Oversees Guyanese are not sending ‘small pieces’ for their family’s survival today; instead, they are demonstrating interest in returning and investing in Guyana for a better life.
While the cost of living worldwide is sky-high because of the effects of the “pandemic” and the war in Ukraine, our citizens are managing pretty well in Guyana. The PPP/C will enable this nation to live a better life in unity in all our diversity.
We must never allow those who attempt to separate us for their selfish aggrandizement to decide our destiny. Our constitution provides the right for us to determine our future, and the time is here for all our people to make rational decisions based on the evidence of the PPPC advancing credible and visible development at the national and local levels.
As this nation goes to the polls tomorrow, Monday, June 12, thousands of citizens have already rejected the PNC/APNU riggers in support of PPP/C’s powerful and united wave of red. You should, too, because the ‘Red Wave’ will prevail, and a vote for the PPPC for these LGEs is for a united Guyana.
Vote early and vote for the PPP/C list of candidates.
Sincerely,
Neil Kumar
