PPP/C’s thorough preparation for LGE will lead to massive victory for all Guyanese

Dear Editor,
The People’s Progressive Party Civic (PPPC) have put into motion their thorough preparation for the upcoming Local Government Elections (LGEs), which is certain to lead to a massive victory at the June 12 polls.
Significantly, the all-inclusiveness of the proposed candidates creates a win-win for communities in all Local Authority Areas nationwide, and will serve to strengthen democracy at the grassroots level.
The due diligence and vigilance of the PPPC at these LGEs will be without boundaries, as the Party and supporters go into full elections mode. General Secretary of the PPP, Dr. Bharrat Jagdeo, is mobilising all his forces and putting all systems in place for a robust but free and fair contest. Without contradiction, the Party will be moving to augment their revealed all-inclusive list of nominated candidates, expressing the unrestricted diversity and quality of persons approved and recommended by the PPP/C as a symbol of the unreserved pursuit of unity.
The PPPC’s campaign approach demonstrates an emboldened sense of ground-breaking nationalism, targeting the most significant dividing obstacles to our people’s advancement. They do so aware of the need to break the long-known falsity of ethnic division that Opposition forces have used for decades as a pillar of indoctrination, for continuing the suppression to development as a trade-off for power grabbing. They do so in recognition that a balanced injection of experience and initiatives at the Local Authority Area (LAAs) levels s would catalyze an overwhelming parallel promotion of appealing and motivating communities to the population.
Consequently, the fact that PPP/C are enjoying a significant percentage of ‘walk-overs’, based on the ‘Nominations Day’ proposal of candidates to contest the LGEs, is not surprising. Notwithstanding, the PPP/C’s activists are taking nothing for granted, nor sparing any chance to root with the masses, as they reach out to the communities with their messages to all the voters.
Accordingly, the general population should anticipate outreaches and engagements in various forms of appropriate communication, comprising party members and supporters distributing pamphlets and handbills, and being involved in bottom-house meetings as well as one-and-one speaking to the people in all communities.
Further, the continuance of Ministers of Government working in communities to address the issues of all citizens is most heartening and demonstrative of the total commitment of the leaders of the PPP/C, who are now proven to be unwavering in the spirit of a One Guyana Agenda as they walk the walk.
No empty words define the re-energised PPPC methods as they set about achieving an improved and deserving future for all citizens.
These LGEs will be most interesting, given the encouraging demonstration of the spirit of enthusiasm and togetherness that now characterise a resuscitation of will among our people. For all these good reasons, people from all walks of life proudly accompany the PPP/C candidates in their campaigns around the country. Indeed, opportunities are emerging for all as the Government moves to address people’s personal issues and community problems positively. The PPP leaders and Ministers are showing keen interest in, and are willing to listen to, the masses to resolve matters, bringing them in direct contact with the people on the ground.
Editor, for too long, the blind obligation to oppose for the sake of being in Opposition was allowed to thrive in support of a few self-aggrandizing henchmen and women. In recent times, most of the current Opposition frontline administrators, while trying to steal the people’s democratic rights, also supported policies imposing increased tax burdens and other sufferings on our citizens. These they referred to as collateral damage, which the PPPC had to remove swiftly or set policies to treat over time, on assuming Government in August of 2020.
It is rational that, working at grassroots level with our citizens regardless of perceived ethnic divide, and supporting the constitutional foundational framework yield the conditions for proposal and feedback that are conducive to accelerating community empowerment and development.
Moreover, faking the approach will have consequences, given that fictitious propagandists will no longer deceive our citizens, as improvements to one’s position must not be only perceived, but felt. For these tangibles and other reasons, the PPPC’s genuine outreaching and solution-oriented engagements, as opposed to the PNC’s unconstructive opposing, have proved to be more and more complementary and meaningful to our people.
The Guyana 2023 LGEs are expected to significantly encourage the dream and reality of President Irfaan Ali’s ‘One Guyana’ undertakings. As this nation prepares for voting on the 12th of June, the electorate seems to be more pumped-up and ready to vote with great determination to strengthen local democracy.

Sincerely,
Neil Kumar
