General Secretary of the People’s Progressive Party Civic (PPP/C) Dr. Bharrat Jagdeo Thursday said the party is at its strongest, evidenced by widespread support across the country.
Jagdeo responded to questions about party support possibly diverting to new political entrants, or because more Indo-Guyanese who have traditionally been the party’s support base may have migrated.
The General Secretary, who is Guyana’s Vice President, said such concerns are usually commonplace leading up to elections. However, he believes the PPP has consistently defied analyses and garnered widespread support.
“Look at the local government elections and results… If you look at the results across the country, you will see that the PPP now is probably stronger than it ever was before,” he said.
The PPP managed to pick up more votes in Linden and Georgetown- two areas seen as major support bases for the PNC opposition- at the last Local Government Elections. Jagdeo believes more people are embracing the party as a multiethnic one.
Even so, Jagdeo vowed that the party will not become complacent.
“You’re going see us campaigning harder than before,” he stressed.
