Trust us once more to deliver greater, better, faster, more efficiently – President Ali at massive Lusignan rally

…delivers final message to supporters as PPP/C campaign
wraps up for 2025 GRE

In a spirited and wide-ranging address at Lusignan on Saturday evening, President Dr Irfaan Ali issued a passionate call to Guyanese voters to re-elect the People’s Progressive Party Civic (PPP/C) in the General and Regional Elections on Monday, calling supporters to turn out in overwhelming numbers. “We ask you to trust us once more to deliver greater, better, faster and more efficiently,” he said, urging citizens to reflect on the PPP/C’s performance over the past five years and the Government’s promise of even more transformative development in a second term.
“You gave us the chance to lead and we did not disappoint you. We fulfilled every single promise. We have a plan and a strategy and we have the leadership to deliver upon that plan, we have the experience and you can trust us to lead you into the bright prosperous future ahead of us,” the incumbent President, seeking re-election, stated.
The Saturday rally was the final event leading up to Monday’s E-Day.

Urges large turnout
“The smell of victory is in the air, victory for the PPP/C is within reach. Victory is within our grasp. Let us not take victory for granted. We can taste a victory, but we have not yet secured that victory. We have one final hurdle to cross. That hurdle is turning out in our numbers on Elections day and putting our “x” next to the cup. At the top and at the bottom,” the President also. The President urged voters to overcome logistical challenges and remain patient, even in the face of long lines or transportation issues on Monday, when they go out to cast their ballots.
“Your vote is more important than the frustration. If you have to wait in the line, be patient. Your vote is more important than that. If you have to walk a mile or two, your vote is more important than that walk,” the President assured.
The President noted however that the PPP/C will be doing whatever it can to provide transportation and other assistance to voters in getting them to the polls.
Speaking before a sea of red-clad supporters at the party’s final campaign rally, dubbed the red tsunami during its campaign, President Ali appealed for another term in office, urging citizens, particularly young people, to take their votes seriously.

Do not squander your vote
A major focus of Ali’s message was directed toward the country’s young people, whom he described as the foundation of Guyana’s future prosperity. “Young people, do not squander the vote that you have. Sometimes when we have easy access to things, we believe that’s how it always was,” he noted.
The President reminded it was the PPP/C’s win after the 2020 elections that gave rise to new opportunities for youth, with their continued participation in shaping Guyana’s development remaining essential. Another key policy announcements from the rally was that the Government will co-invest in opportunities to ensure that families from all walks of life can share in the country’s economic growth.

Do not go down the wrong road
The President repeatedly emphasised the importance of national unity, inclusion and democracy, warning citizens against being misled by opposition forces signalling their intention to reject the outcome of the election.

“Do not be misguided, do not be led down the wrong road,” he warned. “Ask yourself why someone would encourage you to do something wrong or illegal. They don’t value you as a citizen.” At least two political parties have indicated their intention to reject the results and have threatened electoral peace. Commissioner of Police Clifton Hicken has already warned that “any attempt to create disorder, intimidate others or break the law, will be dealt with swiftly.
The President described the PPP/C campaign as one rooted in “love, unity and ideas” and emphasised that the party conducted a respectful campaign.
“We ran a clean campaign… You should all be proud of the campaign that we ran. We ran a campaign of love, ideas, a campaign of unity, a campaign that showed Guyana we are responsive and ready,” he said.
Meanwhile, President Ali also addressed undecided voters and those who still do not support the PPP/C. He said, “we love you…you inspire us to work harder because we want to win your love and we will work harder and harder and harder to win your love.”
President Ali assured that the PPP/C Administration is one that will continue to embrace every citizen and work to ensure their lives are always improving.

One Guyana
As he closed, President Ali reiterated the PPP/C’s commitment to building out his “One Guyana” vision that speaks to a united country where every citizen, regardless of race, creed, or background, has equal access to opportunity. “The Guyana that we are building is the Guyana where all are included. A Guyana of shared prosperity. A Guyana where no one will be left behind,” he declared.
As the rally drew to a close, Ali expressed deep gratitude to the supporters, party members, and his own family for their sacrifices and loyalty over the past five years.
“The PPP civic has proven itself as the party of progress, the party of prosperity. Together, we have come this far. Together we can still go further. Let us secure our future, our children’s future. Let us secure Guyana’s future. On election day come out early, come out strong, come out in numbers, finish the job, seal the victory and protect tomorrow by voting for the cup at the top and at the bottom. Bring home this victory,” he said. Voting on Monday will commence at polling stations across the country at 06:00hrs and all polling stations will be opened throughout the day until 18:00hrs.
