Addressing a sizeable crowd at the Kitty Market Square, during the official launch of the PPP’s election campaign, Jagdeo urged supporters to show up at today’s Nomination Day activity scheduled for the Umana Yana to “see where the focus of the PPP really is.” “…We have over 25 of our candidates under 25 years old, young people as well as experienced people of every race.”
Jagdeo said the list will be a true representation of Guyana, and what it feels like as the PPP is the only national party. He told his party’s support base that the PPP is all about development and the country. As such, it is really easy for the party to campaign, since Guyanese have all witnessed the change in the country over the last five years.
“I don’t need to tell you about roads we have built because you have seen them. I don’t need to tell you about health care or housing or water or education because you’ve experienced them. So, it is an easy campaign that we have here today, but what is important for elections is getting people out to vote and getting the votes counted.”
The VP said the internet does not vote and therefore all of the other political parties that are using the internet as a means of campaigning, “posting nice images of themselves, the Mohameds and the others, without facing the media, they have no policy. They’re playing the victim. Nothing, nothing to talk about. But the internet doesn’t vote. People do, and we have the numbers here, but the massive victory I spoke of, it will be inevitable only if you do the work that is necessary between now and election day, (and) we have to be vigilant.”
He warned supporters that other parties will come with all sorts of ‘crookedness’ and therefore, they must to be diligent.
Jagdeo urged the crowd to go back to their communities and assist in ensuring that the message the PPP is trying is to proclaim is understood, and that they be activists, bringing out their comrades on election day, so that “this overwhelming victory will be a reality. It does not happen by itself, and I need every one of you here, man, woman, young people, old, everyone here to promise me that when you go back to the communities, you will work to carry our message. You will get engaged. We are moving from here to different parts of the country.”
