Prime Minister (PM) Mark Phillips of the People’s Progressive Party/Civic (PPP/C) is urging citizens across the country to ensure they vote for the party, not only in the national elections, but also to give their support at the regional polls so they can take control of Regions 4, 7, and 10.
The PM made the remarks at the party’s grand and final rally before Monday’s elections in Lusignan, East Coast Demerara.
Those regions are currently controlled by the Peoples National Congress-led A Partnership for National Unity (APNU). But the PM referred to those leaders as “a pack of jokers” who fail to bring development at the regional level.
Phillips urged citizens to vote for the PPP/C in those regions in order for collective development to take place across the country.
“We want the entire Guyana to move forward,” he said, “when you vote for the PPP/C you vote for five more years of progress, five more years of development,” he assured.
According to PM Phillips, “now is not the time to take chances.” He said, “Now is the time to be focused.”
The PM also underscored the importance of everyone coming out to vote to ensure the PPP/C gains a supermajority in Parliament.
“We have to have that supermajority to pass all the bills in Parliament to bring a better standard of living to you,” he reasoned.
“Get up early, join the line, and put your ‘X’ next to the cup,” PM Phillips encouraged.
Referring to the party’s competitors, he contended that the APNU is “drowning” while the AFC is “dead”. The WIN party, he reminded, is headed by a US-sanctioned businessman who will bring nothing but doom for the country.
“So, the only man you’re left with is the real man, Dr Mohamed Irfaan Ali,” PM Phillips declared, as he encouraged citizens to carefully examine each of the Presidential candidates’ track records.
Noting that the PPP/C is the only true national party in the country, Phillips also reminded of all the promises kept by the party over the last five years.
“When you vote for us, you vote for an action-orientated Government,” he assured.
The PM also assured supporters of continued development under a People’s Progressive Party/Civic (PPP/C) Government, citing the Government’s proven track record of delivering development that benefits every citizen.
