The People’s Progressive Party/Civic (PPP/C) has unveiled a diverse list of candidates for the September 1 General and Regional Elections, featuring prominent names from across the political and professional spectrum.
Submitted second on Nomination Day, the PPP/C’s list features a blend of youth, technocrats, defectors from opposition parties, and well-known professionals, which the party touts as reflective of national unity, sectoral expertise, and broad-based public support.
Among some of the new names on the PPP’s list of candidates are former Guyana Teacher’s Union (GTU) President, Dr Mark Lyte, well-known cardiologist and Head of Cardiology at the Georgetown Public Hospital, Dr Mahendra Carpen, and University of Guyana lecturer, Dr Kofi Dalrymple.
Additionally, the presence of former People’s National Congress Reform (PNC/R) members like James Bond, Geeta Chandan-Edmond, and Thandi McAllister, along with Lenox Shuman, and Dr Asha Kissoon, marks a strategic list for the PPP/C.
The list also includes over 25 candidates under the age of 25, many of whom are active in fields such as STEM, health, agriculture, media, and education – underscoring the PPP/C’s push to elevate young leaders into positions of national decision-making.
Meanwhile, in a Facebook post less than 24 hours ago, Lyte expressed “that moment when you analyze all the political parties and decided which is best for Guyana in this era.”
