Congratulations to the PPP/C and Dr Irfaan Ali for a well-deserved victory. Special Thanks to PPP/C Leader Bharrat Jagdeo who steered the Party to victory. The families and friends and supporters of 233,336 voters are understandably happy today. Thanks to accredited local and international observers as well as the governments of 100 countries who insisted on electoral justice in Guyana.
Friends, let's be joyful as we should, and let's also be kind and forgiving to our political opponents. I wish to assure Django, Rochelle, Totaram, Tola, Terry etc that a PPP/C victory is not the end of the world for you and APNU+AFC. You will get another chance in 2025. Hopefully APNU+AFC will honestly take stock and determine where and why it lost the confidence of many voters. Remember this: immediately after the PPP/C's slim loss in 2015, Bharrat Jagdeo didn't waste time. He rounded up the party leadership and analysed how and why the loss occurred. The leadership vowed to correct their course and head immediately for victory in 2020. The rest is history.
