In a spirited and wide-ranging address at Lusignan on Saturday evening, President Dr Irfaan Ali issued a passionate call to Guyanese voters to re-elect the People’s Progressive Party Civic (PPP/C) in the General and Regional Elections on Monday, calling supporters to turn out in overwhelming numbers.

“We ask you to trust us once more to deliver greater, better, faster and more efficiently,” he said, urging citizens to reflect on the PPP/C’s performance over the past five years and the Government’s promise of even more transformative development in a second term.

“You gave us the chance to lead and we did not disappoint you. We fulfilled every single promise. We have a plan and a strategy and we have the leadership to deliver upon that plan, we have the experience and you can trust us to lead you into the bright prosperous future ahead of us,” the incumbent President, seeking re-election, stated.

Saturday’s rally was the final stop on the PPP/C’s campaign leading up to Monday’s E-Day.

Speaking before a sea of red-clad supporters at the party’s final campaign rally, dubbed the red tsunami during its campaign, President Ali appealed for another term in office, urging citizens, particularly young people, to take their votes seriously.

A major focus of Ali’s message was directed toward the country’s young people, whom he described as the foundation of Guyana’s future prosperity.

“Young people, do not squander the vote that you have. Sometimes when we have easy access to things, we believe that’s how it always was,” he noted.

The incumbent President reminded it was the PPP/C’s win after the 2020 elections that gave rise to new opportunities for youth, with their continued participation in shaping Guyana’s development remaining essential.

Meanwhile, President Ali also addressed undecided voters and those who still do not support the PPP/C. He said, “we love you…you inspire us to work harder because we want to win your love and we will work harder and harder and harder to win your love.”

He assured that the PPP/C Administration is one that will continue to embrace every citizen and work to ensure their lives are always improving.

The President described the PPP/C campaign as one rooted in “love, unity and ideas” and emphasised that the party conducted a respectful campaign.

“We ran a clean campaign… You should all be proud of the campaign that we ran. We ran a campaign of love, ideas, a campaign of unity, a campaign that showed Guyana we are responsive and ready,” he said.
