Dear Editor,
On May 3rd to May 5th, the People’s Progressive Party [PPP] is having its most important event through its 32nd Congress at the Arthur Chung Conference Centre, Liliendaal, Region 4. This Con-gress would be under the theme “Strengthen the Party, Defend Guyana, Unite Our People for Progress and Prosperity”, very applicable at this time since Venezuela’s unjustifiable claim to the Essequibo and building a “One Guyana” platform for the 2025 Elections. This Congress would take the leadership (Central Committee and Executive Members) into the next General Election in 2025. The Party continues its intensive preparations and logistical arrangements for the delegates and observers drawn from all ten (10) of the Administrative Regions of Guyana and several overseas groups would be gracing the activity.
The Congress will provide for a comprehensive overview of the Party’s performance since the last Congress and outline a strategic direction in keeping with the Party’s Programme and Guyana’s present social, political and economic development. The delegates and observers will examine the Government’s stewardship of the country, initiate discussions and make recommendations to the Party on the way forward. Emphasis will be placed on strengthening Party’s structure and unity as the PPP seeks to provide sound, consistent, steady and reliable leadership and to continue to work towards improving the quality of lives of all Guyanese. The Central Congress Committee is chaired by Executive Secretary, Zulfikar Mustapha.
The highlight of this Congress will be the Central Committee’s Report to be presented by the Party’s General-Secretary, Bharrat Jagdeo, address by President Irfaan Ali and elections of candidates to the Central Committee of the PPP. As with most of the Congresses of recent times, the Party would be honouring and offering an appreciative gesture and recognition and appreciation to those who would have diligently served the Party for more than 20 years. Perhaps the most watched part of the event, though, will be the election of Party leaders who would make up the 35-member Central Committee. The Election for Central Committee members would be an amiably competitive process where the elected leaders would no doubt be committed, efficient and effective, a hallmark of PPP leadership.
Sincerely,
Jagnarine Somwar
