The prime ministerial candidate of the PPP/C for the 2020 elections, Brigadier Mark Phillips (ret.) has stated, ‘The fiduciary oversight of our economy was strong under the PPP/C and Guyanese had a clear understanding of where this nation was headed and how they would benefit. This is the security that will cause all Guyanese of all ethnicities to embrace the PPP/C at the upcoming polls. … as with this country’s commendable record for religious tolerance, if enough emphasis and resources are put towards a national programme for bridging the racial divide, this could be realised so that every person focuses on policies and not race at the next general elections in 2025’(Politicians need to tackle Guyana’s racial divide head-on.
