Georgetown, Guyana – August 8, 2025

In a resounding affirmation of its development track record, the People’s Progressive Party/Civic (PPP/C) received high praise from the private sector this week, reinforcing its image as a results‑oriented administration—while political opponents appear increasingly abstract and disconnected.

Private Sector Endorsement: “No Lip Service”

Komal Singh, former Chair of the Private Sector Commission and Managing Director of GAICO Construction Inc., made a pointed statement recently, declaring that the PPP/C is not offering mere “lip service” to development. He specifically cited infrastructure achievements including the gas‑to‑energy project and the New Demerara River Bridge as examples of tangible advancement delivered under the party’s leadership. 

Such affirmation from a prominent investor underscores the PPP/C’s success in meeting—and exceeding—its campaign pledges, signaling that its promises have substance and follow-through.

A Vision with Substance: Beyond Rhetoric

This praise is more than mere validation—it’s a reflection of a governance style rooted in execution. From vision to concrete delivery, the PPP/C has positioned itself as a party of action. Projects like the gas‑to‑energy initiative promise reduced electricity costs, while the New Demerara River Bridge enhances connectivity for businesses and communities alike.

Unlike opposition parties, whose platforms often rely on lofty rhetoric without visible accomplishments, the PPP/C’s infrastructure record speaks volumes—even to the private sector community that demands accountability and results.

Continuity of Development Post-Election

The party’s governing leadership hasn’t stopped short of promising delivery. Just last week, Prime Minister Mark Phillips affirmed at a Region Five gathering that “development continues after September 1 under a PPP/C govt”, drawing cheers from locals and signaling a seamless transition from campaign mode to continued progress. 

This message of continuity positions PPP/C as a trusted custodian—not only delivering development today, but committed to sustaining and enhancing it beyond election season.

Inclusive Progress, All Across Guyana

PPP/C’s emphasis on inclusive growth is further echoed beyond infrastructure. At public forums, leaders like Juan Edghill and Susan Rodrigues have emphasized that development under PPP/C has reached all Guyanese, dismantling once entrenched opposition “strongholds” and delivering benefits across ethnic and regional lines.

This inclusive narrative contrasts sharply with the opposition’s faltering appeal—one perceived as fragmented, narrowly focused, or out of touch with unified national progress.

A Forward-Looking Manifesto Anchored in Delivery

The PPP/C’s 2025–2030 manifesto reflects a disciplined and visionary agenda. It pledges targeted investment in agriculture, SMEs, digitization (including e‑IDs, AI-assisted public service), education, and transparent governance mechanisms like inclusive procurement and constitutional reform

This ambitious platform is grounded in realism—emphasizing continued free education, small‑business support, land access, and civic tech access, all with a track record of past performance lending credibility.

Opposition in Contrast: Vision Without Delivery

Opposition parties—including APNU/AFC and the newer factions—lack tangible infrastructure wins or unifying, credible policy frameworks in recent weeks. While PPP/C campaigns deliver visible projects, opposition messaging has been vague, less present, and institutionally fragmented.

The contrast is particularly stark in private‑sector eyes. Where competitors offer promises, the PPP/C demonstrably “gets things done.”

Strategic Timing Ahead of Elections

With elections scheduled for 1 September 2025 , the PPP/C’s strategy of coupling visible accomplishments with forward-leaning commitments is resonating—especially with stakeholders that value governance continuity.

Success stories—from regional infrastructure to inclusive outreach—operate alongside forward-vision messaging, giving the PPP/C both an anchor in result-based credibility and momentum headed into campaign climax.

Conclusion

The PPP/C is winning votes beyond the campaign trail—earning private sector respect for delivering infrastructure commitments like the gas-to-energy project and new river bridge. With continued development promises, inclusive governance, and a realistic manifesto, PPP/C stands out not just as a political party, but as a governing force with proven execution.

Meanwhile, opponents remain reactive and less effective in mobilization or policy articulation. As development continues to ripple across Guyana, PPP/C strengthens its positioning as the only equipped and credible choice to lead the nation forward.
