“Built with Our Stones”: A Bold Infrastructure Promise

Addressing a crowd of thousands this past Sunday in Bartica, President Ali unveiled a sweeping development blueprint: roads connecting Sand Hill (Timehri) to Bartica, Goshen (Parika) to Bartica, and new highways extending all the way to Lethem. In a powerful phrase, he stressed that these roads must be “built with our stones made in Guyana“—highlighting self-reliance and domestic economic investment.

The event’s high turnout and enthusiastic reception underscore the growing support for PPP/C—and signal the party’s reach into areas traditionally dominated by the opposition.


Symbolism Stronger Than Showmanship

This “massive, unthinkable transformation” message not only promises physical infrastructure but also harnesses symbolic weight. It signals a shift from dependency to independence, and from short-term campaign optics to long-term national empowerment.

The focus on local production reinforces PPP/C’s economic nationalism—it isn’t just about building roads, but building a nation.


Eroding Opposition Strongholds

Bartica, once a stronghold of APNU influence, is seeing a marked shift. PPP/C’s enhanced presence and spirited engagement contrast sharply with the opposition’s muted reach—highlighted by a poor showing at their recent meeting in the area.

As PPP/C penetrates new constituencies, the opposition appears increasingly reactive—unable to match both substance and spectacle.


Grassroots Momentum Meets Long-Term Vision

This is not a one-off rallying cry, but part of a broader PPP/C narrative: accessible, equitable growth rooted in national pride. Promises of infrastructure, bolstered by community trust, create a powerful endeavor grounded in both urban and rural realities.

By highlighting domestic production and inclusive development, PPP/C continues to craft a campaign narrative that resonates—especially with voters seeking tangible change.


Strategic Timing with Elections Approaching

With national elections looming on 1 September 2025, this bold initiative marks a timely double-down on infrastructural credibility. It signals that PPP/C isn’t pulling back—it’s doubling down on development.

In contrast, the opposition remains vague—both in message and mobilization.


What This Means for the Campaign Landscape

  • Tangible Leadership: PPP/C continues to deliver proposals grounded in local capacity—not buzzwords.

  • Broadened Appeal: Bartica’s reception reflects expanding reach into once opposition-dominated areas.

  • Contrast in Clarity: Where PPP/C offers tangible plans, opposition factions are overshadowed by strategic ambiguity.

  • Narrative of Self-Reliance: “Our stones” amplifies a message of cultural, economic, and political autonomy.


Conclusion

Last Sunday’s Bartica event delivered more than campaign energy—it issued a mandate: PPP/C is building the infrastructure of tomorrow, crafted by Guyanese, for Guyana. This bold stance, paired with authentic grassroots momentum, leaves opposition parties scrambling to catch up—or risk fading into the backdrop as PPP/C charts a clear, confident path forward.
