THE People’s Progressive Party/Civic (PPP/C) has emphasised its record of delivery, outlining key policy successes that have shaped the transformation of communities across Guyana under the leadership of President Irfaan Ali.
Speaking in Hampshire, Corentyne on Tuesday last, Executive Secretary of the PPP/C and Minister of Agriculture, Zulfikar Mustapha, said that the party’s policies have led to significant improvements in infrastructure, agriculture, education, healthcare, and job creation.
He highlighted the government’s clear development agenda, citing investments in improved roads, water, electricity, and the modernisation of key sectors. He relayed that, as the Minister of Agriculture, he saw firsthand the impact of the party’s policies. Farmers who were once neglected are now receiving the tools, training, and support they need to thrive. Drainage and irrigation systems have been overhauled. Markets have been expanded. And the agro-processing sector is booming, he stated.
Mustapha pointed to tangible outcomes in communities, from bridges and roads to schools and clinics, noting that progress is visible across all ten regions. “The transformation is felt in classrooms, clinics, marketplaces, and homes across the country,” he noted.
He also underscored the government’s people-centred governance approach. “We listen to your views and take them on board and that is how we are crafting our manifesto,” he said, reiterating the PPP/C’s commitment to inclusive, responsive leadership.
Mustapha reminded citizens that when the PPP/C returned to office in 2020, Guyana was grappling with stagnation, deteriorating public services, and a weakened economy.
“The country was in a state of regression. Key sectors such as agriculture, education, health, water, and infrastructure had suffered years of neglect and mismanagement,” he stated. He emphasised that it was under the PPP/C that a turnaround began.
As the nation heads into elections, Mustapha called on voters to reflect on what is at stake.
“This election is not just about seats, but rather it is about securing the future of a nation that is on the rise. It is about continuing the journey of transformation that began with the return of capable, committed leadership in 2020,” he said.
Addressing a packed gathering, Mustapha declared: “The PPP/C has delivered without a shadow of a doubt.”
He added, “Our party doesn’t make empty promises. We make commitments, and more importantly we deliver on them. From the coastlands to the hinterland, every Guyanese can see the transformation unfolding under President Irfaan Ali and the PPP/C administration.”
Encouraging voter turnout on September 1st, Mustapha stressed, “We can have the largest rally and all the grand public meetings, but the most important thing is to ensure on elections day every single person turns out to vote.”
As he closed, Mustapha expressed high confidence in the party’s support. He said Region Six has been challenged by PPP/C General Secretary Bharrat Jagdeo to deliver over 55,000 votes.
“I have confidence in you, I know the resilience of the Berbice people and the people in Region Six and I know that when the votes will be tabulated on the night of election that Region Six will deliver to the Peoples Progressive Party the highest number of votes in the history of our party.”
