President Dr. Irfaan Ali announced that Parliament will convene on November 3, 2025 — a milestone marking the beginning of another chapter in Guyana’s important journey of progress and national transformation.
The people of Guyana have given the PPP government a strong mandate to continue its nation-building efforts. The administration’s manifesto is comprehensive and people-focused — aimed at improving living standards, strengthening infrastructure, enhancing healthcare, education, housing, and eco-tourism, and providing social support to children, seniors, and families.
The current challenge is to execute effectively. Each Cabinet Minister has been assigned clear responsibilities, and many have already made significant progress in fulfilling the Government’s promises. The expectations of the Guyanese people are high—and rightly so—because this Government has a proven track record of delivering results and demonstrating commitment.
Among the most immediate and urgent priorities are critical projects like the Gas-to-Power initiative, which will provide a reliable and affordable energy supply to prevent power outages, and the upgrade of major roads, including those leading to the international airport. These projects are essential for economic growth, eco-tourism, attracting global business visitors to Guyana, and the daily convenience of Guyanese citizens. The government must continue to prioritize these projects, ensuring their execution is swift, transparent, and effective.
While the PPP administration remains focused on governance, some opposition parties and so-called civil rights groups made up of only a few people continue to criticize and get involved in politics instead of supporting national growth. Rather than offering clear plans or solutions, opposition leaders seem preoccupied with internal conflicts and questionable alliances that do not reflect the hopes of ordinary Guyanese. For opposition parties, Parliament should be a place for ideas and policies, not personal gain or opportunism.
The people have spoken — and their support goes to the People’s Progressive Party/Civic (PPP/C), which won 36 seats in a decisive landslide victory. This outcome reaffirms the nation’s confidence in the leadership of President Irfaan Ali, Vice President and Secretary-General of the PPP, Dr. Bharrat Jagdeo, and Prime Minister Mark Phillips.
The government’s current duty is to stay connected with the people, avoid complacency, and ensure that each minister meets their responsibilities with humility, dedication, and transparency. Progress in healthcare, especially the expansion of facilities and improvements in public services, deserves recognition — and this momentum must continue across all sectors.
As the new Parliament opens, Guyana stands on the verge of significant growth. With a clear mandate, forward-looking leadership, and disciplined governance, President Irfaan Ali’s government has the chance to fulfill every promise. The people expect nothing less—and this administration is prepared to deliver on the commitments made in the 2025 manifesto.
Opposition Parties in Disarray: A Leadership Crisis Unfolding
As the government prepares to open a new parliamentary session focused on national priorities, the opposition is clearly in disarray. The once-powerful PNC, now fragmented and aimless, has lost touch with the people it once served. Its leadership appears more concerned with internal conflict and political survival than providing a genuine alternative vision for Guyana’s progress.
The opposition parties’ recent political tactics — including suspicious associations and opportunistic alliances — have only heightened public distrust. Instead of rebuilding credibility, opposition leaders have allied with individuals whose motives appear driven more by personal gain than public service. This has undermined their moral authority and caused long-time supporters to turn away, many of whom now prefer stability and good governance under the PPP/C.
The rise of new political groups, like the WIN party led by Azruddin Mohamed—who has been accused by US authorities and the Miami grand jury of money laundering and gold smuggling—has further divided the opposition vote. Instead of energizing voters, it has revealed deep splits within the PNC party. Many Guyanese voters see through these tactics, recognizing that such division only hinders progress and shifts focus away from the national agenda.
The entire nation is awaiting November 3rd to hear Azruddin’s speech and observe how he debates his policies in Parliament. Our readers should realize that Azruddin has no formal education, so it’s not surprising that he struggles to say two clear sentences. We doubt he understands the meaning of ‘inflation.’ With that in mind, the Americans will probably send extradition papers for Azruddin and Nazar Mohamed to face a grand jury in Miami, Florida.
Aubrey Norton and Nigel Hughes did not adequately represent the interests of the Afro-Guyanese community. The Afro-Guyanese community voters supported Azruddin Mohamed, a gold smuggler from the WIN party, instead of the PNC or the AFC.
Aubrey Norton is solely responsible for destroying the Afro-Guyanese voting base in Linden and Region 4. Nigel Hughes, AFC, who aimed to become President of Guyana, failed to win a single seat in Parliament. His AFC party is as dead as a dodo.
Parliament should serve as a platform for debate, accountability, and progressive policies. Unfortunately, the opposition benches are increasingly occupied by individuals with limited governance experience and a poor understanding of public administration’s complexities. Their contributions often lack substance, mainly focusing on criticism rather than offering solutions.
Meanwhile, the PPP/C Government continues to deliver tangible results—new roads, hospitals, upgraded power infrastructure, and improved living standards for families, among many other benefits across Guyana.
People trust a PPP government that listens, plans, and acts — not one that complains, divides, and delays.
