Dear Editor,

WEST Coast Demerara once again proved that the West Side is indeed the best side last Sunday when Stewartville was by the thousands, covered, consumed and condensed with a concentration of the now customary crowd of the red tsunami of colleagues, companions and comrades championing the cause to elect the powerful PPP/C and the potent Dr. Mohamed Irfaan Ali as the unstoppable incumbent Government and the patriotic President.

Guyana is now the fastest growing nation in the world. Region Three is now the fastest growing region in Guyana. Now, the West Side is regarded as the fastest growing region in the world! This is because of an astute President Ali being a planner with a vision and not allowing things to happen but one who makes things happen.
The frenzied people of Uitvlugt/Stewartville/Leonora/Anna Catherina/Cornelia Ida/Hague, Den Amstel and other areas, gave their home boy, Dr. Irfaan Ali, a son of the soil of Leonora, President of Guyana and Leader of the PPP/C Party, a hometown royal welcome, as they danced to the sound of the local Tassa Group.

It was a moment to reminisce when the party founder and former President of Guyana, Dr. Cheddi Jagan, used to hold rallies and meetings at the current Leonora Market Square.
It’s a known fact that the dynamic PPP/C Party under the excellent tutorship of Dr. Irfaan Ali has from Day One on August 2, 2020, hit the ground running. He promised to repair the harm done by the APNU+AFC party, which wrecked the nation to economic, political and social chaos, during their governance from 2015 to 2020. Guyana now boasts, brags and is booming as the richest nation per capita.

Viewed as the biggest rally so far to catapult the 2025 election campaign, countless thronged the site, marching from different locations with the President, Vice President and the Prime Minister, to gather at the famous Stewartville Side-line Dam to listen to their beloved home-grown childhood friend, school friend, play mate, associate, neighbour, family and comrade, Irfaan, along with his entire entourage.

Despite all the hearsays, the rumors, the propagandas, the “he seh an dem seh,” the lies some may try to spread with forked and “dutty” tongues, cameras, live videoing and drones do present the true picture of the size of the PPP/C crowd.

The sea of red tsunami at Linden, Lethem and Leonora, defeats the false premise that crowds are being hired and transported from one extreme end to the other to make up numbers. On the contrary, the loners fused to cushion the shortfall by the other contestants, certainly confirming that comment!

His baraat (people accompanied) included many budding flowers of youthful faces to form the next PPP/C political garden to nourish, nurture and mold the nation. Despite the hot sun, the breezy atmosphere compensated for the time endured to listen to the inspiring, motivating and exciting speeches made by all the speakers.
People from all walks of life, all races, all sexes, all religions, all ages and all persuasions, gathered with an open frame of mind at the once old railway embankment, to get a glimpse of the man for all seasons, the man who is taking Guyana by storm and the man who is uniting all Guyanese in a “One Guyana.”

The PPP/C led by the invigorating youthful prowess of a flamboyant Leonora/Leguan labour of love, has stamped his aura with the authenticity of an amorous ally to all and sundry without any stratum of skepticism.

He has: romanced with royal dignitaries; courted with clever diplomats; wooed with international Heads of States; sparkled with global intellectuals; cajoled with his local opponents and stepped out of his league to be the simpleton with the ordinary man in the street.

Can the PNC or AFC or any other ABCD see with Dr. Ali’s eyes or walk in his shoes? Dr. Irfaan Ali has left an indelible footstep in the sand and soil of Guyana that the sea is unable to wash away!
The invincible sight of that mammoth “lionistic” PPP/C crowd is certainly driving terror in the eyes of the WIN’s jaguar/leopard/tiger/puma, leaving a tiny and timid kitten to wander in a jungle and get lost in a maze.

That mob is closing APNU’s open palm from an injured hand to recoil in pain, pang and pity and to grasp at any straw in the sea. That swarm of PPP/C enthusiasts is confusing a dejected AFC to misplace their key to free themselves from shackles, shame, sorrow.

Sadly, the large flock of PPP/C compatriots is creating a nightmare horror for the remaining two intangibles who remain invisible!
The contesting APNU, AFC, WIN, FGM and ALP as challengers to the champion PPP/C, are akin to empty vessels that make loud noises only, as they offer no substantial evidences to pressure the electorate to place any hope or faith in the dreamlike promises they are making.

It’s glaringly clear that the five contestants are only trying to play a matching game by imitating and escalating facts and figures provided by the PPP/C.
On the other hand, that mass that packed the Stewartville site, is steadfastly gripping the PPP/C everlasting cup which is blessed with “barkat” (filled with an abundance amount). The Cup is continuously the overwhelming and overflowing container, perpetually providing the richness of prosperity, the wealth of good fortune and the safety net of sustainability.

It is formatted with a handle to give the firm grasp of strength, health and stealth. As the days dwindle down to that moment of anxiety, the PPP/C cup quickly remains that drum of water to quench any thirst, to quell any disturbance and to extinguish any towering inferno.
Yours respectfully,
Jai Lall
