Dr. Bharrat Jagdeo, General Secretary of the PPP/C, asserts the party is at its strongest, backed by strong nationwide support. He addresses concerns about voter base changes due to migration, showcasing recent electoral successes, particularly in opposition-dominated regions. Jagdeo emphasizes the party’s multiethnic identity and commitment to intensified campaigning.
Dr. Bharrat Jagdeo, General Secretary of the People’s Progressive Party Civic (PPP/C) and Vice President of Guyana, proclaimed that the party is currently stronger than ever. He attributed this strength to widespread support throughout the nation, despite concerns regarding potential shifts in allegiance to new political players or migration patterns affecting traditional voter bases, particularly among Indo-Guyanese.
Jagdeo addressed these concerns by stating that such anxieties are typical before elections but emphasized the PPP’s resilience in maintaining broad support. He pointed to the recent local government elections as evidence of this strength, stating, “If you look at the results across the country, you will see that the PPP now is probably stronger than it ever was before.”
The PPP has reportedly gained increased voter support in regions like Linden and Georgetown, areas traditionally aligned with the PNC opposition. Jagdeo noted that this shift indicates a growing acceptance of the party as a multiethnic entity. Nevertheless, he assured that the party plans to intensify its campaign efforts, saying, “You’re going to see us campaigning harder than before.”
In conclusion, Dr. Bharrat Jagdeo’s assertion that the PPP/C is at its strongest highlights the party’s ability to adapt and maintain voter support amid electoral uncertainties. The recent successes in local elections and increased votes in traditionally opposition strongholds further solidify this claim. As the party prepares for future campaigns, they remain committed to broadening their appeal and enhancing engagement with voters.
