Figueira endorses President Ali, will be ‘actively involved’ in re-election campaign

Jermaine Figueira has endorsed President Dr. Irfaan Ali and says he will be actively involved in the unfolding re-election campaign ahead of the September 1, 2025, General and Regional Elections.

“There’s no leader in this country who hasn’t erred and President Irfaan Ali is no exception, but I believe that his leadership far outweighs his imperfections,” Figueira said during an episode of the Starting Point podcast aired on Saturday.

The politician also opined that President Ali is keen on uniting Guyana and doing what’s best for the country. For these reasons and more, he is now happy to support President Ali for a second term in office.

However, Figueira’s revelation was not just an endorsement.

He made it clear: “My endorsement of him goes beyond rhetoric. I’m going to actively involve myself in his re-election campaign.”

A few weeks ago, Figueira resigned from the People’s National Congress Reform (PNCR). After his resignation, he accused the party of losing its moral compass, drifting into ethnic politics, and failing the country in a time of national crisis.
