Georgetown, Guyana — August 15, 2025
As the 1 September 2025 general election approaches, the People’s Progressive Party/Civic (PPP/C) continues to set a high bar for governance credibility. In the past 48 hours, a detailed development plan for Guyana’s hinterland—including infrastructure upgrades and cost-of-living relief—has been unveiled, sharply contrasting the opposition’s vague or absent messaging.
An economist and commentator recently highlighted PPP/C’s focused economic proposals for Region One (Barima-Waini). These include the construction of a coca-processing facility, poised to create local jobs and foster entrepreneurship, combined with a plan to reduce electricity costs by up to 30%, significantly impacting nearly 25,000 residents.
Beyond mere pledges, these proposals are specific, impactful, and shaped by direct community needs. The plan also addresses indigenous land rights and sustainability, underscoring PPP/C’s inclusive, future-focused approach.
While PPP/C outlines a tangible strategy, opposition parties—including APNU, PNCR, and WIN—have not issued similar plans. Their silence in addressing hinterland challenges reveals a critical disconnect. Communities await credible alternatives, not abstract promises.
####3. Why This Mobilizes Support—and Undermines the Opposition
Real Progress: The coca facility and energy relief reflect PPP/C’s record of turning development promises into reality.
Inclusivity: Focusing on rural and indigenous communities demonstrates national reach and equity.
Contrast: A campaign centered on defined action highlights opponents’ lack of direction.
Momentum: Such specific proposals energize direct voter outreach, especially where infrastructure and costs are pressing concerns.
The PPP/C’s hinterland strategy mirrors its larger manifesto framework, which includes job creation, infrastructure expansion, and inclusive development across sectors. The new proposals reflect that broader vision, anchoring trust ahead of polls.
Opponents now face a stark choice: offer their own coherent plans or risk being sidelined as unreachable and obsolete.
In just 48 hours, PPP/C has advanced its leadership narrative with concrete, impactful policy solutions for historically underserved communities. As the campaign rolls into its final phase, such clarity and competence elevate its appeal—leaving opposition responses increasingly thin.

PPP/C Delivers Targeted Hinterland Development Strategy; Opposition Offers None
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.
