FORMER Opposition Member of Parliament, Geeta Chandan-Edmond, who is now a candidate on the People’s Progressive Party/Civic (PPP/C) list for the upcoming September 1 General and Regional Elections, made a passionate case for trust and transformation during a community meeting in Berbice on Tuesday evening.

Addressing residents gathered at the Experiment Bath rally, Chandan-Edmond underscored the PPP/C’s proven track record and its bold vision for Guyana’s future.

She urged voters to consider not just the tangible accomplishments of the current administration, but also the intangible effects of its steady and strategic leadership under President Dr Irfaan Ali.

“This is a party you can trust,” she declared, highlighting the administration’s achievements in infrastructure, education, healthcare, digital advancement, and economic development since taking office.

She also pointed to the PPP/C’s well-documented development agenda for the next five years as a clear sign of its preparedness and forward-thinking approach.

Chandan-Edmond drew a sharp contrast between the PPP/C’s leadership and the handling of sensitive national issues by the opposition.

Citing the recent threat of foreign aggression against Guyana, she commended the PPP/C government’s diplomatic agility and composure in securing swift international support and rallying regional and global organisations in defence of Guyana’s sovereignty.

“The government’s response to the threat of invasion showcased not just leadership, but statesmanship. It reflected calm, calculated diplomacy and the trust of the international community,” she noted. “Now compare that to how the opposition handled something as straightforward as a parliamentary motion. That alone speaks volumes.”

The former PNC MP encouraged voters to ask themselves a critical question as election day approaches: Who can you really trust to lead this country through complex global challenges?

Chandan-Edmond’s crossover to the PPP/C has been seen by many as a significant endorsement of the party’s national vision and leadership values.

Her appearance at the Berbice rally is part of the PPP/C’s ongoing campaign across the country to reinforce its grassroots presence and connect with citizens on the issues that matter most.

As Guyana prepares for the September elections, the PPP/C continues to position itself as the party of stability, growth, and inclusive transformation.
