–        Incumbent PPP/C leads by over 133,000 votes

THE incumbent People’s Progressive Party/Civic (PPP/C) is in line to regain office after capturing a significant victory at the 2025 General and Regional Election.
Six parties contested this year’s election, with three major parties capturing the majority of votes at the polls, those being the incumbent PPP/C, A Partnership for National Unity (APNU) and newcomer We Invest in Nationhood (WIN).
The win by the incumbent PPP/C, according to the data provided in the declarations published by the Guyana Elections Commission (GECOM) for the General Election, shows that significant gains have been made in several regions that had previously supported the APNU.
The most significant of these regions would be Region Four, which has traditionally supported that party.

The chart in Figure 1 shows that the APNU from 2011 to 2020 had always captured more than 50 per cent of the votes cast for Electoral District Four/Region Four. The percentage of votes captured for that region peaked in 2015 when the party joined forces at the polls with the Alliance For Change (AFC) as a coalition.
The PPP/C, however, for that Region had stayed consistent, starting at capturing 38 per cent of votes in 2011 and 2015. This figure moved to 40 per cent at the 2020 election, and this year, according to the declaration, capturing 48.4 per cent of votes, accounting for some 87,536 votes.
Significantly, while the PPP/C was able to capture the lion’s share of the votes for Region Four at this year’s polls, newcomer WIN captured 23 per cent of the votes, accounting for 41,607, just two per cent shy of what APNU captured, being 25.97 per cent or 46,965 votes.
Meanwhile, votes received by the three-month-old newcomer have caused persons to question the strength of the APNU’s base, as the gains made by the WIN party have come from regions that have previously supported APNU.
One such region is Region Ten, where WIN captured 49.7 per cent of all votes cast for that region, with APNU capturing only 25.38 per cent.
However, for Region Ten, the PPP/C was able to capture 20.27 per cent of votes there, an improvement in its performance when compared to previous election cycles, like 2020, where it had gained 13.9 per cent of votes in that region.
Figure 2 shows the aggregation by percentage of the major parties’ votes gained at this year’s polls.

Further to this, according to the data released in GECOM’s declarations, the PPP/C captured wins in Regions One, Two, Three, Four, Five, Six, Eight and Nine.
With victories in eight regions, the incumbent was able to secure some 55.3 per cent of all valid votes cast in the country, accounting for over 242,000 votes. These votes, tallied using the data gathered from the declarations published, put the PPP/C ahead by 133,432 votes.
Figure 3 shows the breakdown of the votes gained by percentage for each region in this year’s general election for the three major parties, APNU, PPP/C and WIN, computed using the data provided by GECOM’s declarations for each region made on Wednesday.

While individual district declarations were released on Wednesday, following Election Day on Monday, no overall declaration has been made by GECOM announcing any party as the victor at the polls.
However, with the information provided through these declarations, it can be clearly determined that the PPP/C has secured another term in office.
Meanwhile, dissatisfied with the outcome, the APNU has called for a recount of votes for sub-district 4 (East Coast Demerara) of Electoral District Four. This recount was granted and will commence today using a total of 25 workstations, according to GECOM.
