-at PPP/C final rally
Seeking a return to power following a narrow defeat at the 2015 elections, PPP/C Presidential Candi-date Irfaan Ali yesterday pledged to “make things right again” and vowed better governance of the petroleum sector as he appealed for votes at the party’s final rally before tomorrow’s polls.
“…it is your hard work that will give us an opportunity to fix things and after March 2, with your votes we will be fixing the wrong and making things right again,” said Ali to the thousands of supporters gathered at the Lusignan market tarmac.
Tomorrow’s general and regional elections are the most consequential in a half-century of independence with billions at stake as Guyana begins to reap the windfall from massive oil deposits offshore. With poor showings at the last two elections, the PPP/C is seeking to claw back support and gain enough votes to obtain a majority in parliament.
