WITH the September 1, 2025 General and Regional Elections fast approaching, excitement is building, nationwide, for the People’s Progressive Party/Civic (PPP/C)’s campaign launch at the Kitty Market Square today.
This event is expected to be more than just a political rally. It will celebrate significant achievements, and boldly declare the party’s readiness to keep transforming Guyana. The PPP/C enters this campaign season with strong momentum and great success under its belt. They have delivered on over 90% of their commitments from the 2020 Manifesto.
This impressive record sets them apart in a political landscape where other parties struggle to earn voter trust. The party has created around 50,000 to 60,000 new jobs, provided over 50,000 house lots, funded scholarships for nearly 30,000 Guyanese through the GOAL programme, and doubled the old-age pension.
These numbers reflect real-life changes and dreams realised. The success of the party and its inclusive nature have served as a magnet for Guyanese of all walks of life. While opposition parties deal with internal turmoil, and loss of membership, the PPP/C has seen exciting growth.
The party’s youth arm has grown to over 15,000 members, showing the strong appeal of their vision for Guyana’s future. General Secretary Dr. Bharrat Jagdeo has stated that the party has more than doubled its delegate count from when they were in opposition to their 32nd Congress, with more than half of these delegates coming from regions where they had little presence before.
This growth reflects a clear understanding of modern politics. The PPP/C is not only holding onto its support, but also making significant inroads. The party has built organisational structures in Regions One, Seven, Eight, Nine, and Ten, which traditionally lacked a strong PPP/C presence.
This strategic expansion shows the party’s dedication to genuinely representing all Guyanese; not just their usual strongholds. The diversity and inclusivity found in the PPP/C sharply contrast with the splintered image of the opposition. As the only truly multiracial party in Guyana, the PPP/C has formed a political organisation that mirrors the nation’s diverse ethnic makeup.
This diversity is not just for show; it is a core part of the party’s identity, and crucial to its vision of “One Guyana”, where every citizen benefits from national progress. The campaign launch will highlight a party that has reformed governance.
Under President Dr. Irfaan Ali’s leadership, the PPP/C has removed over 200 heavy taxes imposed by the previous APNU+AFC administration, cut VAT from essential services, and wisely invested oil revenues in infrastructure, education, and healthcare. The outcomes are evident: Miles of new highways, 12 new hospitals under construction, and free tertiary education at the University of Guyana, among other things.
Most importantly, the PPP/C has shown that good governance means more than just making promises; it means delivering on them. They promised to lift the tax burden on working families, and they did.
They said they would create jobs, and they exceeded their goals. They committed to restoring dignity to the public service by raising salaries and providing bonuses that the previous administration had taken away. The upcoming campaign will further solidify the PPP/C’s status as the natural choice for Guyanese voters. With a detailed Manifesto shaped by public input and proven policies, the party presents real solutions for everyday challenges.
Their investment plans for small investors, support for the sugar industry, and ongoing infrastructural development offer a clear path to prosperity that other parties cannot match. As the election on September 1 approaches, the choice for Guyanese voters becomes clearer. On the one hand, there is a party with a solid record of delivery, a diverse and growing membership, and a vision for an inclusive future.
On the other side are opposition parties facing internal struggles, shrinking membership, and a history of unfulfilled promises. The PPP/C’s campaign launch today will not only officially kick off their election campaign, but also celebrate what effective governance looks like, and preview the continued progress awaiting Guyana.
With their unmatched achievements and steadfast commitment to all Guyanese, the PPP/C is ready for the election, and prepared to keep building a modern, prosperous, and inclusive Guyana that voters truly deserve.
