THE recent statement from its leadership that the People’s Progressive Party/Civic (PPP/C) has “delivered on the plan for prosperity” goes beyond campaign talk; it highlights a real change in Guyana under strong leadership.

As the leaders presented their party as “the only true national movement in Guyana”, the evidence backs this claim through clear achievements across various sectors.
The focus on diversity at the Manifesto launch shows an important aspect of the PPP/C’s governance.

The mention of different groups like farmers, fishermen, business leaders, public servants, teachers, nurses, and religious leaders highlights the party’s commitment to unity.
Unlike opposition parties that remain divided and focused on “empty promises and no vision”, the PPP/C has shown its ability to bring together Guyana’s diverse society with a clear development plan.

This inclusivity is not just for show; it translates into policies that help all Guyanese, no matter their background.
Prime Minister Brigadier (Ret’d) Mark Phillips correctly compares the current path to the “disastrous policies that hurt areas like rice farming” under the previous APNU+AFC administration.
The signs of progress are clear: 60,000 new jobs created since 2020, with investors now finding it hard to locate available workers rather than workers struggling to find jobs.
The major infrastructure improvements can be seen “in every village, every community”, including significant highways like the Ogle to Eccles corridor, and thousands of local roads that enhance everyday life.

What makes the PPP/C unique is its consistent connection with the people. Phillips’s claim that the government “remained grounded” and did not retreat to “air-conditioned offices” reflects a governance style that values grassroots engagement over political show.

This has led to what Vice-President Bharrat Jagdeo effectively calls a “tsunami of support”; not through flashy promises but through regular fulfillment of commitments.
The differences with the opposition are clear. While the APNU+AFC struggles with internal conflicts and a lack of clear policies, the PPP/C has kept a united purpose and a clear vision. The opposition’s campaign promises seem increasingly out of touch with financial reality, depending on fluctuating oil revenues while ignoring economic basics.

This careless approach contrasts sharply with the PPP/C’s balanced, sustainable development strategy that has positioned Guyana as a regional leader in economic growth and democratic governance.

The PPP/C’s record speaks volumes, from eliminating over 300 harmful taxes and fees instituted by the previous administration to launching the most ambitious infrastructure programme in the nation’s history.
The confidence in calling the party Guyana’s only national movement is not just political rhetoric; it reflects a proven ability to unite and advance the country for all its citizens.
