Georgetown: The announcement of May 11, 2015 as polling day for general and regional elections in Guyana by President Donald Ramotar has resulted in Cabinet members embracing the necessary resort to “committed campaign activity and all that that commitment implied”, Head of the Presidential Secretariat, Dr. Roger Luncheon said today.
Addressing the media at his weekly post-Cabinet briefing Dr. Luncheon noted that the efforts of the Cabinet members would “underpin the focus of returning the People’s Progressive Party (PPP/C) to government. Members resolved to aggressively pursue an election campaign that would pronounce on the party’s vision and the future of Guyana as would be laid out in the manifesto that ought to be made available prior to the polling day”.
The Cabinet Secretary implied that the focus of the Cabinet members in their contribution to the re-election bid would be their “exploitation of the track record of prior PPP/C administration in 1992, 1997, 2001, 2006 and 2011”. Dr Luncheon stated that the feeling was that the track record would contribute significantly to the re-election campaign. The delivery of free and fair, and free from fear elections would also be highlighted in the efforts, or during the efforts of Cabinet members, he further added.
“Cabinet members undertook to be part of the PPP/C electoral machinery that would be dedicated to acquainting the Guyanese electorate with the merit of the PPP/C, both party and Government, and equally with the disadvantages of the alternative, the opposition party and all alternatives to the current PPP/C administration the Cabinet members undertook to critically examine during the campaign”.
The ruling PPP/C, led by President Donald Ramotar, has expressed confidence in the electorate, not only returning it to power, but also regaining the Parliamentary majority, as it continues to move Guyana forward along the developmental path.
