Ahead of the upcoming September 1 General and Regional Elections, Guyana Cricket Board (GCB) President Bissoondyal Singh has joined a long list of other Guyanese in endorsing President Dr Irfaan Ali for a second term in office.
Singh seized the opportunity to solidify his support for the governing People’s Progressive Party/Civic (PPP/C) at the Berbice Cricket Board (BCB) award ceremony over the weekend.

Singh noted in his speech, “But having said all the above, let us not lose focus on what or who has created the environment and the pathway for sustainable and continuous advancement of sport across Guyana.
“And while he may not be on the list of awardees for tonight’s event, he is, without a doubt, the greatest contributor to this sport over the past five years.
“Ladies and gentlemen, we must not forget this man, a great human being!
“This is a man in every step he has taken, he has walked with purpose, in every decision, he has considered the people and in every chapter of his journey, he has written a story of service, honour, and grace.
“He is the architect of the transformation and modernising of this country.
“Has played a pivotal role in catapulting Guyana on the global stage to the extent that we are now the fastest-growing economy per capita in the world.
“He leads with vision, courage, and firm resolve. But more importantly, he leads with heart.
“He inspires trust, cultivates unity, and brings out the best in those around him. Under his guidance, teams flourish, communities grow stronger, and lives are forever changed.
“When he assumed office five years ago, he brought with him a dynamic vision for inclusive development- a Guyana where every child, regardless of background, could dream big, and where sports would no longer be a recreational afterthought, but a pillar of national pride and unity.
“If I were to list his achievements, it probably will take me forever.
Ladies and Gentlemen, at this moment, I invite all of you to please rise.
Let us stand together – in unity and with gratitude- as we recognise and thank an exceptional leader.
A man whose service, vision, and compassion have inspired a nation.
He is no other that His Excellency President, Dr Mohamed Irfaan Ali.
We are proud of you.
We are inspired by you.
And we stand with you.
“It is with absolute conviction and unwavering confidence- that I, as President of the Guyana Cricket Board, and I speak on behalf of its entire membership- hereby publicly and wholeheartedly endorse the leadership and presidency of HE Dr Mohamed Irfaan Ali and that of the People’s Progressive Party/Civic.
“We fully support your continued stewardship as President of the Cooperative Republic of Guyana.
“Victory 2025-2030.
“Sir, may your leadership and guidance continue to uplift this great land we all love and call home.”
“President Dr Irfaan Ali has been a strong supporter of sport initiatives, particularly cricket, during his time already served in office. Amongst his major contributions to the sport in Guyana, his brainchild – the ExxonMobil Guyana Global Super League (GSL) T20 is set to bowl off its second edition next Thursday.
