In a thunderous address to thousands of energized supporters gathered at Side Line Dam, Stewartville, Region Three, General Secretary of the People’s Progressive Party/Civic (PPP/C), Dr Bharrat Jagdeo, on Sunday declared with blazing confidence that the ruling party is marching toward a “huge, decisive, overwhelming victory.”

He warned, in no uncertain terms, that any attempt to derail democracy will be dealt with accordingly by the country’s security services.

“We’re heading to a huge, decisive, overwhelming victory for the PPP/C. And that victory will only be possible because of your support,” Jagdeo asserted.

Jagdeo’s comments were a scorching condemnation of those who, facing certain defeat, are already sowing the seeds of unrest.

“Norton said, ‘If I don’t win and if the elections are rigged, there will be trouble in Guyana’ “And Azruddin Mohamed, in his delusional state, says, ‘I did a poll…that showed that I’m winning the presidency. I’ve already won in regions 1, 7, 8 at 9 and the PPP is planning to rig… and there’ll be trouble in Guyana’”

Jagdeo said, referring to Opposition Leader Aubrey Norton and controversial businessman-turned-presidential hopeful Azruddin Mohamed.

Jagdeo lambasted Mohamed’s claims as pure fiction, describing them as “dangerous delusions” and accusing him of parroting the “old, reckless language of the PNC”

“Now, he has adopted the language of the PNC, the old language of the PNC,” Jagdeo added, reminding of the People’s National Congress/Reform’s dark legacy of electoral chaos and instability.

In a firm warning to all would-be agitators, Jagdeo made clear that the state’s security apparatus stands ready and capable.

“The security forces are ready to take on anyone who tries to disrupt the peaceful poll in these upcoming elections,” the General Secretary said.
