PPP is party of three giants unmatched in governance – Hugh Todd rallies Linden

Guyana’s Foreign Minister Hugh Todd on Sunday described the People’s Progressive Party/Civic (PPP/C) as a team unmatched in governance, security, and defence, describing President Irfaan Ali, Vice President Dr Bharrat Jagdeo, and Prime Minister Brigadier (Ret’d) Mark Phillips as “giants” best suited to govern the country.

Todd, addressing thousands of supporters at the PPP’s Linden rally, said the PPP/C has grown stronger over its 75-year history because of the people’s support and its unbroken commitment to nation-building.

“We are not only a national brand; we are known across the world,” he said, adding that the PPP/C’s leadership had transformed lives, communities, and the country.

“This is the only national party,” he said of the PPP, saying it has grown from strength to strength over the 75 years.”

He pointed to President Irfaan Ali’s rising international profile, describing him as a global leader who carries Guyanese values abroad and returns home to continue delivering development.

“He is a global leader, respected across the world and look what he has been doing at the same time – transforming lives, transforming communities, making this nation proud and prosperous.”

He said nurses and teachers are better paid and more youths own homes and run businesses.

Todd contrasted the current government’s performance with that of the previous administration, declaring, “In 2020, we got rid of the parasites. Now we’re on the right track to paradise.”

Emphasising the experience and integrity of the PPP/C’s leadership, Todd hailed the contributions of Vice President Bharrat Jagdeo and Prime Minister Mark Phillips, noting their decades of public service and policy expertise.

He said Vice President and General Secretary Dr Jagdeo is responsible for taking this country out of poverty.

Of Jagdeo, he said his record is long, robust, and solid “and he is still here carrying the torch.” Under his leadership, Todd said the PPP is stronger.

“There is no force greater than the PPP – no force out there.”

Regarding the Prime Minister, Todd said he has given his entire life to service in n defense and security of the country.

“There’s no other party out there that has demonstrated that they can run this country and bring stability and prosperity – prosperity to your lives.”
