Georgetown, Guyana — August 14, 2025
With the September 1 general election fast approaching, the People’s Progressive Party/Civic (PPP/C) continues to chart the narrative with clear, aspirational messaging. In just the last 48 hours, two developments have solidified the party’s strength: the return of healthcare professionals through improved compensation, and major infrastructure and utility investments for the East Coast of Demerara. While PPP/C advances, opposition parties remain largely absent.
Addressing supporters at Alexander Village, President Irfaan Ali assured that nurses and healthcare workers who left the country will return, attracted by better salaries and benefits. Between infrastructure expansion and strategic hiring, the push is part of a broader plan to bolster Guyana’s healthcare capacity. Since 2020, four new hospitals have been built and eight more are underway. To support this, an estimated 6,000 healthcare professionals are needed, with both foreign hiring and robust training strategies in place.
This message is not just hopeful—it’s tangible. Better incomes and local job creation are real incentives that differentiate PPP/C from other parties, which remain silent on healthcare recovery and retention.
Meanwhile, Vice President Bharrat Jagdeo outlined ambitious infrastructure and utility upgrades for the East Coast of Demerara. Plans include:
A new water treatment plant in Hope, modeled after Shelter Belt in Georgetown, to treat and distribute water more effectively across coastal and hinterland areas.
Electricity grid improvements, replacing vulnerable roadside transmission lines with sturdier steel towers, minimizing widespread blackouts.
Major road improvements, including expansion of the four-lane railway embankment road and multiple access points into Georgetown to streamline traffic and safety.
These initiatives signal that PPP/C doesn’t just promise development—it delivers it.
As the election draws near, these announcements are timely and impactful:
Jobs and economic confidence: Promising nurse return signals stability and opportunity.
Quality-of-life improvements: Clean water, electricity reliability, and safer roads touch daily lives.
Leadership clarity: While PPP/C lays out specific plans, opposition parties offer little vision or detail.
Motivation for voters: Development-driven messaging fosters positive engagement—not negative campaigning.
These simultaneous announcements—spanning healthcare and infrastructure—showcase a holistic strategy that starts with citizen well-being and extends to national development. Meanwhile, opposition messages remain fragmented.
In contrast, PPP/C demonstrates coherence, inclusivity, and forward momentum—key attributes in a campaign where voter confidence and identity are critical.
In less than two days, PPP/C has delivered a compelling narrative: returning nurses, clearer infrastructure, and confident leadership. These developments reinforce its image as a governing party that values tangible progress over political noise. As the 2025 election looms, PPP/C stands out not as a party of promises, but a party of delivery—while opponents struggle to stay visible.

PPP/C Projects Confidence and Investment—Departed Nurses Return and Infrastructure Expansion on Horizon
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.
