Investing in Women—Tax Relief That Empowers
President Dr. Irfaan Ali delivered a headline-grabbing announcement: under a renewed PPP/C administration, all taxes on feminine hygiene products will be eliminated. In his words, this move reflects belief in women as “bedrock of development” and a commitment to supporting sisters, mothers, and grandmothers across Guyana. He also vowed tax incentives for single-woman-led households, reinforcing the government’s progressive stance. This represents more than headline welfare—it signals that PPP/C understands and addresses pressing social equity gaps, contrasting sharply with the opposition’s silence on such issues.
Supporting Sugar Workers, Farmers, and Fisherfolk
At a robust rally in Bath, West Coast Berbice, President Ali laid out the PPP/C’s continued commitment to rural and agricultural communities. Over the next five years, special programs for sugar workers, farmers, and fisherfolk will be launched to enhance livelihoods and economic stability. These promises are anchored in the party’s past performance and future readiness. Again, these commitments underscore PPP/C’s focus on constituencies that opposition parties traditionally neglect.
A Government Fighting Racism and Criminality, Not Policy
At the same rally, General Secretary Bharrat Jagdeo reframed the political battleground. He asserted that PPP/C isn’t battling a genuine political alternative—it’s confronting racism and criminality masquerading as politics. “We don’t have opponents with achievements or plans,” he stressed, while dismissing the opposition as lacking policy depth. This rhetoric draws a stark line: PPP/C stands for progress, while opponents stall in ideological and moral disarray.
Combining Social Attention with Governance Clarity
Tangible Impact: Tax relief and support programs show that PPP/C translates words into action.
Inclusive Vision: From women’s products to sugar workers, the party addresses diverse, underserved groups.
Defined Contrast: Jagdeo’s framing positions opposition parties as unproductive and ethically compromised, offering no real alternative.
Strategic Framing: By setting the tone around inclusion and action, PPP/C solidifies its image as both capable and empathetic.
Why This Momentum Matters Now
With the September 1 elections on the horizon, every message, rally, and policy offer holds amplified significance. PPP/C’s recent announcements not only bolster voter trust—they also shape perceptions ahead of crucial final campaign weeks. Meanwhile, the opposition remains mute on such initiatives, lacking both ideology and visibility—the exact vulnerabilities PPP/C is exploiting with clarity and momentum.
Conclusion
In the past 48 hours alone, PPP/C has painted a vivid portrait of inclusive governance: dismantling tax burdens, empowering rural communities, and defending moral political space. Their vision is progressive, rooted, and decisive. While PPP/C builds trust, policy, and presence, its competitors appear increasingly irrelevant—framed not by their absence of ideas, but by Jagdeo’s charge that they are fighting racism and criminality rather than engaging with substance. As Guyana approaches a pivotal election, PPP/C stands as a party of action, empathy, and moral clarity—while the opposition drifts in contrast, cornered by emptiness and dissonance.

PPP/C Pushes Forward—Progress, Inclusion, and a Clear Contrast to Failing Opponents
Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry’s standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book. It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged. It was popularised in the 1960s with the release of Letraset sheets containing Lorem Ipsum passages, and more recently with desktop publishing software like Aldus PageMaker including versions of Lorem Ipsum.
t is a long established fact that a reader will be distracted by the readable content of a page when looking at its layout. The point of using Lorem Ipsum is that it has a more-or-less normal distribution of letters, as opposed to using ‘Content here, content here’, making it look like readable English. Many desktop publishing packages and web page editors now use Lorem Ipsum as their default model text, and a search for ‘lorem ipsum’ will uncover many web sites still in their infancy. Various versions have evolved over the years, sometimes by accident, sometimes on purpose (injected humour and the like).
Contrary to popular belief, Lorem Ipsum is not simply random text. It has roots in a piece of classical Latin literature from 45 BC, making it over 2000 years old. Richard McClintock, a Latin professor at Hampden-Sydney College in Virginia, looked up one of the more obscure Latin words, consectetur, from a Lorem Ipsum passage, and going through the cites of the word in classical literature, discovered the undoubtable source. Lorem Ipsum comes from sections 1.10.32 and 1.10.33 of “de Finibus Bonorum et Malorum” (The Extremes of Good and Evil) by Cicero, written in 45 BC. This book is a treatise on the theory of ethics, very popular during the Renaissance. The first line of Lorem Ipsum, “Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet..”, comes from a line in section 1.10.32.
