—Former AFC executive member urges voters to reject opposition’s lies, vote with their conscience

PEOPLE’S Progressive Party/Civic (PPP/C) candidate, Leonard Craig, has called on Guyanese to free themselves from political manipulation and “vote their conscience” on September 1, Election Day.

Speaking at the PPP/C rally in Bath, Region Five, on Sunday, Craig accused the opposition of spreading false allegations intended to mislead voters into making “life-altering decisions based on false information and lies.”

Craig, who once served in the Alliance for Change (AFC), said his decision to join the PPP/C was driven by the transformational policies and progress he has witnessed over the past five years.
“When things have changed, I have to be honest and tell you that the People’s Progressive Party is making progress to the extent that you must always vote for the PPP,” Craig told supporters.
Craig directly addressed the perception that Afro-Guyanese should not support the PPP/C, rejecting it as a false and divisive narrative.

“Them ain’t own you and them ain’t own me… Feel free to vote your conscience on September 1,” he declared to loud applause.

Craig joins a growing number of former A Partnership for National Unity + Alliance For Change (APNU+AFC) supporters who have crossed over to the PPP/C, citing the party’s track record in development, job creation and improving living standards.
