Blending personal gratitude with political endorsement, Bond told a gathering at Melanie, East Coast Demerara, that he would be publicly backing the President for re-election in the 2025 national polls.
“President Ali is one person who has always remembered me, from since he was a minister, he has always remembered me. He has always been a friend to me, and I am giving you a second term,” Bond said, addressing President Ali directly, as the audience applauded in response.
“I say this publicly, sir,” Bond further asserted.
Meanwhile, another resident signalled her support for the Dr. Ali-led administration.
“You have our full support,” the woman declared, commending the government’s continued efforts to engaging residents.
