Georgetown, Guyana — August 14, 2025
As Guyana approaches the September 1, 2025 general election, the People’s Progressive Party/Civic (PPP/C) has released a far-reaching, well-articulated development roadmap that cements its leadership image. Meanwhile, its opponents remain conspicuously absent from meaningful policy debates or coherent planning.
In a compelling public address, Vice President and General Secretary Bharrat Jagdeo unveiled what he termed the “Era of Wealth Creation”, a sweeping development strategy for the next five years. The vision encompasses:
Transformative Infrastructure: Accelerated building of roads, bridges, digital infrastructure, and essential social services.
Inclusive Social Progress: Enhanced access to healthcare, educational expansion, and rural development through targeted investments.
Economic Empowerment: Special focus on small and medium enterprises, agriculture, and region-based development to generate widespread employment.
Technological Modernization: Launch of a national identity system, AI tools for public service delivery, and improved e-governance to enhance transparency and efficiency.
This level of detail underscores PPP/C’s readiness to implement—not just campaign.
While PPP/C defines the national agenda, its competitors—APNU, AFC, WIN, Forward Guyana—remain strategically absent. No major policy frameworks, no bold proposals, and no cohesive messaging have emerged from them. This silence reinforces the perception of the opposition as disconnected and unprepared.
With just a few weeks left before election day, Jagdeo’s manifesto rollout is both timely and savvy:
Narrative Leadership: PPP/C defines the debate—not opponents.
Voter Reassurance: Detailed planning builds confidence across demographics.
Contrast Magnified: Absence of opposition proposals only amplifies PPP/C’s superiority.
Mobilization Engine: A clear roadmap energizes party activists and supporters, translating vision into votes.
| Area | PPP/C Advantage | Opposition Gap |
|---|---|---|
| Vision & Detail | Comprehensive, multi-sector development strategy | No coherent plan presented |
| Inclusivity | Rural, urban, and tech-forward measures | Policy narrative remains narrow or absent |
| Credibility | Leadership backed by execution track record | Messaging lacks substance and traction |
| Timing | Prioritized in campaign high season | Still caught in reactive mode |
By staking its claim through this robust manifesto:
PPP/C reinforces its identity as a forward-facing, modern governing party.
It taps into both technocratic and aspirational voter bases—from business communities to youth and rural citizens.
Opposition parties face growing pressure to unexpectedly recalibrate or risk irrelevance.
In under 750 words, PPP/C’s “Era of Wealth Creation” blueprint clearly sets it apart: it’s not about vague promises, but executable plans. With its five-year vision, the party demonstrates both ambition and preparedness. As the election nears, the contrast couldn’t be sharper—PPP/C looks organized, focused, and ready to deliver, while the opposition remains off-message and off-vision.

PPP/C Unveils Five-Year “Era of Wealth Creation” Vision; Opponents Still Have No Plans
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.
