General Secretary of the Peoples Progressive Party Civic (PPP/C) Dr Bharrat Jagdeo is urging citizens not to take any risks at the polls on Monday.
Speaking at the party’s final rally at Lusignan, East Coast Demerara (ECD), Jagdeo said he can list 100 compelling reasons why citizens should vote for the PPP/C.
However, he zoned in on just three reasons, one being leadership.
Jagdeo, who is also the country’s vice president, noted that “in any country, you need strong leadership” to take the country forward.
He referred to the party’s political opponents, particularly the APNU and its presidential candidate Aubrey Norton, and WIN and its presidential candidate US-sanctioned businessman Azruddin Mohamed.
Noting that Mohamed fails to properly articulate his thoughts, does not engage the press and is only running a social media campaign, Jagdeo questioned “how will he keep us safe from Venezuela?”
Norton, on the other hand, “spends most of his life in Bam Bam Alley”, and is incapable of managing anything, Jagdeo added.
A vote for either of them will put the entire country at risk, he warned.
“You’re risking your entire future…can you imagine the day after…you have a government headed by one of these individuals…you’re not just putting the promises at risk, you’re putting what we have already achieved at risk, your children money could go back to zero…and Venezuela and Maduro could have a very compliant gentleman here in the government,” the PPP GS cautioned.
“Don’t take any risk, leadership matters,” he added, reminding that the PPP/C has “worked through the tough times in our country…and we stood strong”.
Another reason why persons should vote for the PPP/C, he said, is because it is the only party that is trying to bridge the racial barrier in Guyana.
“…a party that is working day and night to unify our people…a party that treats people like family…a party that wants to look like Guyana,” Jagdeo emphasised.
He noted that, “every other political party is trying to divide our people”.
Jagdeo said another reason why the PPP/C deserves citizens’ votes is because it has kept its promises to the electorate.
“Rarely in this world do you find politicians…who will put down a list of ideas and promises and then work hard to deliver on them,” he explained, noting that the PPP/C has delivered and even surpassed its promises made to the electorate at the 2020 polls.
In this regard, he assured that the promises being made now on the campaign trail will be realised.
“When you hear 40,000 homes will be built in the next term, that will be delivered,” Jagdeo noted.
He added that when citizens hear promises such as vulnerable families will get grants to build and improve their homes, and that persons can get zero interest loans to start small businesses, they can be assured that the PPP/C will deliver.
“You can trust us to deliver,” he said.
