- Makes rallying call for President Ali, PPP/C re-election
WITH Guyanese set to head to the polls in a matter of weeks, the People’s Progressive Party/Civic (PPP/C) intensified its campaign in Region Two with a spirited public meeting in Maria Lodge, where senior party officials made a strong case for continuity under the Irfaan Ali-led administration.
Addressing a charged crowd, PPP/C’s Yvonne Pearson delivered a firm appeal for voters to reject distractions and recommit to the path of transformation and progress already underway ahead of the General and Regional Elections slated for September 1, 2025.
Taking to the stage with visible conviction, Pearson urged citizens to stay the course with the PPP/C and to reject what she described as “empty promises” from the opposition.
“The future of this country is bright, but only if we make the right choice. Let us not be carried away by empty promises. This is about development, real development and the PPP/C has delivered and will continue to deliver,” Pearson told the gathering.
Pearson reminded residents that the PPP/C has a proven track record of transforming communities, addressing people’s concerns and creating opportunities without fear or hesitation.

She also highlighted the tangible changes that have taken place under the leadership of President Dr. Irfaan Ali.
“Very shortly — come September 1 — we will be back in office. Encourage your family, friends, and neighbours to do the right thing. Let’s stand with the man who has a vision, President Irfaan Ali,” she said, as the crowd responded with applause.
Speaking passionately about development in the hinterland and rural communities, Pearson reminded the audience that under the PPP/C government, residents no longer have to walk on muddy dams.
“We’ve stopped walking in mud. We now have new, improved roads, better connectivity and access this is the transformation we’ve been looking for,” she declared.
Pearson also reiterated the government’s promise of expanding support to families through increased educational benefits.
She noted that within the next five years, under a renewed PPP/C mandate, free education from nursery to secondary will be further strengthened, and the Because We Care cash grant will see a meaningful increase.
“Education is the key to our children’s future, and our government is making sure every child regardless of where they live gets that opportunity,” she said.
Joining Pearson on stage was Regional Vice Chairman and PPP/C candidate, Humace Oodit, who echoed the call for unity behind the Ali-led administration.
Oodit urged citizens to remember the hardships they faced under the former APNU+AFC Coalition Government.
“We cannot forget the dark days. We remember the struggles, the neglect, the lack of jobs, the failing infrastructure,” Oodit stated adding that, “Now, under the PPP/C, there is light, there is transformation, and there is hope.”
He praised the current administration for investing in the region from agriculture and housing to roads and public health and encouraged voters to protect the gains made by giving the PPP/C another term in office.
“Let us continue to move forward with a party that keeps its promises. Vote PPP/C and secure the future of Guyana,” he said.
