Shazaam Ally joins the PPP 

Shazaam Ally, a founding member of The Citizenship Initiative (TCI), has joined the governing People’s Progressive Party Civic (PPP/C) and will support the party in its reelection campaign this year.

“While I haven’t always agreed with the PPP/C, I’ve seen real progress in the past five years, with growing investment, empowered youth, and an engaged and present government. I believe Guyana is moving forward and want to contribute meaningfully to that momentum,” Ally said in a Facebook post.

He added, “This move is not about abandoning my values but living them. My integrity, principles, and love for Guyana remain unchanged. I’ve also served on the state board of the National Communications Network (NCN) for nearly five years and remain committed to public service.”

TCI was formed in 2019 to contest the March 2020 General and Regional Elections. Ally was one of the people behind the initiative. He also contested the 2023 Local Government Elections.

In his Facebook post, Ally said his decision to join the PPP came after “careful reflection” and observing development under President Dr. Irfaan Ali.
