Addressing concerns over migration and new political entrants, he cites recent local government election successes as evidence. The PPP has gained traction in traditional PNC areas, with Jagdeo asserting commitment to continued vigorous campaigning.
Dr. Bharrat Jagdeo, General Secretary of the People’s Progressive Party Civic (PPP/C) and Vice President of Guyana, asserted on Thursday that the party is experiencing unprecedented strength, bolstered by widespread support throughout the nation. Jagdeo addressed concerns regarding potential shifts in party loyalty to new political players or the migration of traditional Indo-Guyanese supporters, stating that such worries are often prevalent during election seasons.
He emphasized that the PPP has continually surpassed expectations, demonstrating significant support as evidenced by local government election results. “Look at the local government elections and results… If you look at the results across the country, you will see that the PPP now is probably stronger than it ever was before,” Jagdeo remarked. Notably, the PPP gained more votes in Linden and Georgetown, historically viewed as PNC opposition strongholds, indicating an increasing acceptance of the party as a multiethnic entity.
Despite this progress, Jagdeo insisted that the PPP will remain vigilant and not allow its success to lead to complacency. “You’re going see us campaigning harder than before,” he emphasized, highlighting the party’s commitment to continued engagement with its supporters.
In summary, Dr. Bharrat Jagdeo confidently describes the People’s Progressive Party Civic as stronger than ever, citing broad support across Guyana, evidenced by recent local government election outcomes. While acknowledging migration concerns and competition from new political entrants, he maintains that the party has defied expectations. Moreover, Jagdeo emphasizes an unwavering commitment to robust campaigning moving forward, aiming to further solidify the party’s multiethnic appeal.
