RETURNING to her political roots with renewed conviction, former Opposition Member of Parliament, Geeta Chandan-Edmond, is standing firmly alongside the People’s Progressive Party/Civic (PPP/C), bringing a message of experience, unity, and progress to thousands across Region Six.

Over the past week, Chandan-Edmond addressed energised crowds at three major community rallies, spanning Fyrish to Tannery Dam, and from New Amsterdam to Rose Hall.
Her message was clear: under President Irfaan Ali’s leadership, the PPP/C has not only made promises but delivered tangible progress that is transforming lives across Guyana’s coast and hinterland alike.

Chandan-Edmond described her homecoming as more than symbolic; it is an act of service rooted in her deep love for Guyana and its people. “Returning home has always been my mission, and I am proud to stand here, welcomed with open arms, to continue this purposeful work,” she told residents gathered at Fyrish.

At each rally stop, she reminded citizens of the stark contrast between years of neglect and the current wave of development sweeping Region Six.
“Look at Tannery Dam. Not long ago, this community’s roads were nothing but mud tracks—now they are paved and accessible because of the PPP/C. Today, families here have running water, better roads, and better opportunities,” she said to loud applause.

In New Amsterdam, Chandan-Edmond drew sharp comparisons between the PPP/C’s track record and the lack of progress under the Opposition-controlled Mayor and City Council (MCC).
“When it comes to roads, housing, jobs—anything developmental—it’s the PPP/C government that has delivered. The MCC, under PNC control, has done nothing substantial for the town’s advancement,” she asserted.

She also highlighted transformative achievements under President Ali’s administration, from modernised infrastructure and upgraded health services to improved educational access and expanded digital connectivity. “Development under the PPP/C is not just talk—it is visible reality. And it is people-driven and community-focused,” she said.

EASING THE COST OF LIVING
Addressing the crowd in Rose Hall, Chandan-Edmond zeroed in on the cost-of-living crisis affecting Guyanese households, praising the government’s decisive steps to support families. She pointed to increased wages, cash grants, subsidies, and targeted relief measures that have helped shield the most vulnerable amid global economic pressures.
“Guyana is advancing in ways we could only dream of—digitally, economically, socially—and every village, town, and community must share in that progress,” she told the gathering.

‘ONE GOOD TERM DESERVES ANOTHER’
As the country edges closer to the next general election, Chandan-Edmond’s rallying cry is straightforward: build on the progress, reject empty promises, and vote for continued transformation.
“With the PPP/C, our roads are done, our children have better schools, our communities have water and services they never had before,” she declared. “One good term deserves another. On September 1st, let us stand proud, raise our voices, and re-elect President Ali to continue this journey of progress.”

Residents from across Region Six turned out in strong numbers, welcoming Chandan-Edmond’s clear and compelling case for the PPP/C’s re-election.
For many, her return symbolises dedication to the people’s real needs and a vision for a brighter, more prosperous Guyana.
