Georgetown, Guyana – August 8, 2025
Over the past 48 hours, the People’s Progressive Party/Civic (PPP/C) has reinforced its narrative as the nation’s unifying force—precisely when its opponents are showing signs of division, inconsistency, and fallout.
PPP/C continues to benefit from the erosion of traditional ethnic voting patterns, driven by tangible benefits and inclusive governance. As PPP/C Executive member Anil Nandlall recently noted, voters who once supported PNC-led opposition structures are now aligning with PPP/C due to its consistent delivery and policies.
Attorney General Nandlall added that PPP/C’s rallies resonate with real energy—describing opposition events by APNU and AFC as “lukewarm” and “disappointing,” particularly highlighting the poor turnout in Bartica—a former APNU stronghold.
As the political clock edges closer to September 1 elections, cracks in opposition alliances deepen. President Irfaan Ali called out the APNU+AFC coalition as a “coalition of incompetence” and “undemocratic forces”—highlighting their inability to maintain cohesion or offer substantive leadership.
Meanwhile, Attorney General Nandlall described the PPP/C as the “Rock of Gibraltar,” contrasting its stability with the disintegration of rival parties—pointing out that splintering, resignations, and power plays among AFC and APNU members only reinforce PPP/C’s ascendancy.
UNA/Guyana’s campaign rhetoric is shifting. In a pointed critique, Nandlall observed that while PPP/C stays grounded—making realistic, deliverable pledges—its opponents freely pitch “unrealistic promises,” apparently driven by desperation. This underscores the party’s advantage: trust earned through performance, not hype.
Geeta Chandan‑Edmond—previously with PNC-led APNU—urged voters not to “gamble Guyana’s future,” endorsing PPP/C as “the only party that has delivered”.
In aggregate, these developments reinforce a powerful political message: PPP/C remains organized, optimistic, and results-focused, while the opposition grapples with identity crises, implausible plans, and internal conflict. Endorsements across former fault lines solidify PPP/C’s appeal as a truly national party.
With just weeks until election day, every rally, declaration, and endorsement matters—and PPP/C continues to dominate the political conversation.

PPP/C Solidifies Momentum as Opposition Cohesion Crumbles
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.
