General Secretary of the People’s Progressive Party Dr Bharrat Jagdeo on Saturday evening cautioned Guyanese to be wary of opposition-aligned and paid social media activists who will attempt to spread lies, create confusion, and divide Guyanese along ethnic lines – all in an effort to stop support for the PPP/C.
Addressing supporters at the PPP/C’s final rally on the 2025 campaign trail at Lusignan, East Coast Demerara, Dr Jagdeo emphasised that these tactics are not new and are typically used to create fear or sow doubt in voters’ minds.
“Don’t allow fear or any rumour to deter you from voting. You are voting for your own lives, your family, your children, and our future as a country; you are voting for the unity of our people. Recognise the power that you have in your hands,” he stressed.
According to Jagdeo, Guyanese need to be on high alert for fake news circulating.
“Be vigilant because they always try to deter people from voting. Watch out for the fake news from tonight [Saturday] all the way to Monday afternoon. They will come up with a lot of lies that are intended to keep people at home,” he told supporters at the Lusignan Market Tarmac.
Nevertheless, the PPP General Secretary warned citizens not to take any risks at the polls on Monday, calling on supporters to remain vigilant and turn out in large numbers.
“Do not take any risk on 1 September… We are not going to take a single risk,” he said.
