Clement Rohee
People’s Progressive Party/ Civic (PPP/ C) General Secretary and Home Affairs Minister Clement Rohee has expressed confidence in the party winning the upcoming local government elections and the general elections.
Rohee told a media conference on Monday, in response to questions posed to him about the party’s readiness for elections that the PPP has all hope in its various constituencies and plans to return as a majority government.
“This confidence is not built up mainly on the basis of words, the confidence that we have … is generated on the basis of how we sense our supporters and members particularly reacting to programmes and policies of the party,” Rohee stated.
He said his party was “always on the ground” and was working constantly to address critical issues citizens face in Guyana. He explained that the party is also fixing the damage done in the last election, which saw the government losing one seat to the opposition and becoming the first minority government in Guyana’s history.
“Where there have been instances where that reputation has been damaged, resulting in us losing the majority in Parliament – one of the elements of ensuring our state of readiness is to ensure that what we lost is regained.”
The party, he said, has been meeting more often with the people to provide them with progress reports on work being executed under its leadership.
The party’s general secretary said the PPP/ C machinery is usually well oiled, but to keep this going it requires more than just words but hard work and determination to get issues fixed and build greater confidence in the people.
