Congratulations to President Dr. Irfaan Ali and the People’s Progressive Party/Civic’s (PPP/C) General Secretary and Vice President, Dr. Bharrat Jagdeo, for winning a clear election victory. This result not only confirms the PPP/C’s return to government with 36 seats in the National Assembly but also strongly supports the ongoing economic and social progress of the past five years.
The voters made their voices heard loudly, giving the PPP/C a lead of over 242,498 votes — more than 55,000 votes above the combined total of the two main opposition parties. This strong endorsement demonstrates the confidence Guyanese people have in the PPP/C’s ability to govern and produce results.
Why the PPP/C Won. Dr Bharrat Jagdeo, the Mastermind behind the landslide victory.
The PPP/C’s victory is rooted in its accomplishments. Over the last five years, the party has driven unprecedented growth, improved living standards, and produced tangible results in all ten administrative regions. Citizens saw this progress and chose to continue with the same leadership.
The election campaign, led and managed by Dr. Bharrat Jagdeo, was thorough, well-organized, and focused on issues. The PPP/C traveled across Guyana, engaging communities, highlighting achievements, and outlining a vision for the next five years.
Dr. Jagdeo’s role as a strategist and leading campaigner is undeniable — he is the mastermind behind this victory.
The Collapse of the Opposition Parties
WIN (We Invest in Nationhood):
The WIN Party has effectively dismantled the PNC and AFC, drawing away much of their traditional Afro-Guyanese support. This shift mainly happened because WIN’s leader allegedly openly distributed money in an attempt to buy votes. Sadly, it seems that many voters were persuaded by cash handouts rather than policies or principles in this election.
WIN is merely an artificial creation intentionally meant to distract Guyanese voters. Its ties to U.S.-sanctioned individuals reveal the true aim behind its launch — to protect and endorse Azruddin Mohamed and his father, Nazar Mohamed, who are already involved in serious crimes. The United States has sanctioned Nazar and Azruddin Mohamed for money laundering, gold smuggling, invoice fraud, and drug trafficking.
It is now the responsibility of the American government to determine what further actions to take against both Nazar Mohamed and Azruddin Mohamed.
Although the WIN party gained some seats, this victory is temporary and misleading. Members of Parliament have no safeguard from prosecution, and it’s unclear how the United States will handle these compromised individuals.
PNC/APNU: The once-powerful PNC has become insignificant under Aubrey Norton’s leadership. Norton’s refusal to accept the results — despite his party being defeated not only by the PPP/C but also by WIN — shows denial and weakness. His leadership is now a disgrace, not only to his party but also to the broader Afro-Guyanese community, which deserves capable and credible representation. Norton should resign immediately and allow new leadership to restore the dignity of the PNC.
AFC Party
The Alliance for Change (AFC) has effectively vanished from Guyana’s political scene. Once considered a third force, the AFC has disbanded and no longer poses a significant challenge in national politics.
Nigel Hughes, the leader of the AFC, attempted to pressure the PNC into nominating him as their presidential candidate. When that didn’t work, he decided to go it alone under the AFC banner — only to suffer a humiliating defeat, with the party failing to win even a single seat. What a political disgrace.
The PNC Party
From the moment Aubrey Norton was elected leader of the PNC, he adopted a reckless and divisive policy — branding Indo-Guyanese as racists and even refusing to shake hands with President Dr. Irfaan Ali. This attitude has backfired spectacularly. Norton is fully and wholly responsible for the crushing defeat of the PNC in this election. Under his leadership, the party has become insignificant in national politics, leaving the Afro-Guyanese community without credible representation.
The blame is clearly on Norton. He provided no strategy, no economic plan, and no vision for the country — only race-baiting rhetoric. The irony is clear: PNC supporters abandoned him, with many shifting their votes to both the PPP and the WIN party. The only honorable course of action now is for Norton to resign immediately and allow new leadership to rebuild what remains of the PNC.
The Road Ahead for the PPP/C
While the PPP/C celebrates this landslide victory, the party must begin planning for the upcoming general elections in 2030 now. Both WIN and the PNC will spend the next five years trying to undermine progress and destabilize the government. The PPP/C must stay alert.
Importantly, the PPP party must concentrate on young voters — many of whom supported WIN — and demonstrate that they have a genuine role in shaping Guyana’s future. These voters need to see that progress comes with the PPP/C, not with criminals or failed leaders.
Guyana’s democracy has matured, and the 2025 elections reaffirmed the people’s trust in the PPP/C. Moving forward, the government must remember that it represents all Guyanese, including those who did not vote for it. This inclusive approach will strengthen national unity and ensure that every citizen benefits from Guyana’s economic growth.
