As Guyana approaches another pivotal general and regional election, the governing People’s Progressive Party/Civic (PPP/C) has made its stance unmistakably clear: this election is not about gambling on uncertainty, but choosing proven leadership backed by a solid, measurable track record.

At a recent press conference, PPP General Secretary Dr. Bharrat Jagdeo underscored what many across Guyana already sense, that the nation stands at a crossroads where the choice between stability and political experimentation must be made with serious consideration.

“This election is not about taking risks,” Dr. Jagdeo said, a sentiment that resonates in a climate where development, prosperity, and national transformation are visibly accelerating.

The PPP’s commitment to transparency is matched only by its confidence in the performance of its leadership, especially that of President Dr. Irfaan Ali. In just a few short years, Dr. Ali has become a respected figure not only within the region but on the global stage.

His fluency in national planning, economic and social policy, and international diplomacy has elevated Guyana’s profile and attracted transformative opportunities for its people. Jagdeo rightfully noted that few leaders today possess both the political acumen and command of policy that Dr. Ali has consistently demonstrated.

The government’s achievements, from job creation and housing expansion to improved healthcare and education services, reflect not just campaign promises, but actions taken and lives changed. The PPP has listened to the people and responded with tailored policies that address both immediate concerns and long-term needs. The results are evident across the country.

With the September 1 polls looming, political aspirants have begun rolling out lofty promises. Yet many of these proposals mirror initiatives already underway or completed by the current administration, a telling sign of imitation rather than innovation. It is clear that no opposition party can credibly lay claim to a comparable record of delivery.

Dr. Jagdeo emphasized that internal polling reflects strong national support for the PPP/C — support earned not through rhetoric, but through results. The party’s preparations are not last-minute campaigns hastily assembled for votes, but the product of a year-long, methodical strategy that includes the development of a new manifesto, supported by ongoing public consultations and informative publications. This is governance in motion, not politics in theory.

In an era where democratic principles have come under pressure, it was the PPP that defended the sanctity of Guyana’s elections during the tumultuous post-2020 period. That fight was not just for power, but for the protection of the people’s voice — a stance that should not be forgotten.

Leadership must be judged by both its vision and its ability to deliver. The PPP has delivered. In a time when progress is tangible and future prospects are bright, Guyana must choose wisely. The case for continuity is not based on loyalty but on logic, and the evidence is hard to ignore.
