Hundreds of Guyanese on Saturday turned out to the massive rally held by the ruling People’s Progressive Party/Civic (PPP/C) in Bartica, Region Seven (Cuyuni-Mazaruni) which is considered to be the gateway to the interior where they declared support their support for the re-elected of a PPP/C Government with a majority. But residents also called on the party to address several of their concerns as they pressed for continued development and progress as opposed to change. During their rally, the PPP/C presented several plans they have for future development in the region. Prime Minister with Responsibility for Energy Samuel Hinds noted that the government intends to establish a new and improved power station with larger capacity to fix the electricity woes and to better service the community of Bartica.
