It’s a no-brainer, PPP will beat anyone except God at next elections – Jagdeo

In a feisty presentation at Babu Jaan Sunday, Dr Bharrat Jagdeo, leader of the ruling Peoples Progressive Party (PPP), declared that the party will win the upcoming general elections in a “glorious” new era in Guyana.

He said Dr Irfaan Ali will be leading the party in the next elections, describing him as a “giant” while the others seeking to challenge him are nothing and come with a “sour face”. He added that Dr Ali can do much more than others who can’t string two sentences together.

Dr Jagdeo said there is no party that can unseat the government.

“Anybody else except God we can beat,” Jagdeo stated at the annual event to celebrate the life of party founder Dr Cheddi Jagan, who with his wife Janet, started the party 75 years ago.

He said other parties seeking to form a coalition against the PPP are but monkeying around, saying perhaps if they repented from trying to rig the elections in 2020, people may have considered them.

He hailed Dr Ali as “proficient in every area”, furthering describing him as a “people person.”

He said the PPP is now a different party and is functioning under the “instruction” of Dr Jagan that the party should be one that represents all parties.

Dr Jagdeo said the elections are going to be clearly about who people can trust, dismissing promises being made by opposition forces.

For example, he pointed to promises of the opposition to increase the wages and salaries of public servants by 200%. This, he said, is unsustainable and stupid, saying if all the revenues from oil would be used it would not be enough to meet that increase.

Dr Jagdeo said what the PPP represents is “people-centered development in practice.”
