-highlights proven commitment to uplifting the working class, excellent leadership and nation building efforts

THE following is a full statement issued by the Federation of Independent Trade Unions of Guyana (FITUG) on Sunday:

“The Federation of Independent Trade Unions of Guyana (FITUG), the nation’s leading trade union body representing thousands of Guyanese workers, is pleased to offer its full and unequivocal endorsement of President Dr. Mohamed Irfaan Ali for a second term in office.

This endorsement is rooted in President Ali’s proven commitment to the upliftment of the working class, his people-centred leadership, and his steadfast focus on building a stronger, fairer, and more resilient Guyana for all.

Under President Ali’s leadership, the Government has rolled out several pro-worker and pro-people initiatives that have tangibly improved the lives of workers and their families across the country.

From steady increases in wages, to the reversal of burdensome taxes on essential goods, to targeted investments in job creation, education, housing, and healthcare, the working class has seen a revival of hope and dignity under this administration.

Moreover, the Government’s support for the revitalisation of the sugar industry and the consistent engagement with trade unions reflect a genuine regard for the role of workers in nation-building. President Ali has also prioritised inclusive growth and unity, embracing all Guyanese regardless of background or region in the ongoing transformation of our beloved nation.

FITUG is confident that even brighter days lie ahead for the working people of Guyana under a continued Irfaan Ali presidency. His visionary leadership, tenacity in the face of challenges, and tireless efforts to promote national unity and social cohesion exemplify the values we hold dear. President Ali is not only a leader of policies but a leader of the people—accessible, responsive, and deeply committed to realising the dreams and aspirations of all Guyanese. As Guyana continues on its path of progress and prosperity, FITUG believes that the country’s future is secure and assured with Dr Irfaan Ali at the helm.

We therefore call on all workers and citizens to support his re-election and stand together for a Guyana where development is inclusive, opportunities are abundant, and no one is left behind.”
