— Toshao John, Ricardo Phillips praise President Ali’s vision and track record
AN Amerindian leader, Derick John and a young civil engineer, Recardo Phillips, have added their voices to the growing call for the re-election of the President Dr Mohamed Irfaan Ali-led People’s Progressive Party/Civic (PPP/C) in the September 1 General and Regional Elections.
Moraikobai’s Toshao and Chairman of the National Toshaos Council (NTC), Derrick John, delivered a fiery address at the political rally in Bath, West Coast Berbice, on Sunday, expressing strong support for President Ali.
Making it clear that he is humbled to share the stage with “visionary leaders”, Toshao John said Guyanese learnt their lesson from the 2015 era when political parties offered grand promises but never delivered.

“We are not being fooled. We are a people that have learnt,” he declared, lauding the PPP/C as the only national political party that truly upholds unity and respect.
“We are voting for a party that has real, world-class projects and programmes… A movement that we have seen transforming our country,” he added.
Also endorsing the PPP/C was young civil engineer, Recardo Phillips of Dundee, who credited the Ali-led administration with laying a strong foundation for Guyana’s future.
“I want to see a better Guyana for myself, my family, and for you. Without a People’s Progressive Party/Civic (PPP/C) government, we cannot achieve this,” Phillips told the gathering.
Both men are among scores of young leaders contesting as PPP/C candidates in the upcoming elections, reflecting the party’s continued appeal across demographics and its focus on building a unified and prosperous Guyana.
