Jagdeo says nothing was offered to persons who now support the PPP

General Secretary of the governing People’s Progressive Party Civic, Dr. Bharrat Jagdeo, highlighted that no politician who has now backed the party has been offered any position or special benefits.

Instead, he believes those individuals have done so because they believe the PPP is a competent, multiethnic party that should return to office after the September 1, 2025, polls.

“I’ve seen a lot of attempts to vilify these people. We live in a free country so people can express their views about what they see as defection and what I see as people coming to us because of the progress and the leadership given by the PPP to implement a national agenda.

“…. None of the people, not a single one of us who have come to us voluntarily, has been offered anything. No position once we win the elections, nothing of the sort,” Jagdeo said at his weekly party conference.

Several prominent political players have now endorsed President Dr. Irfaan Ali and the PPP. Some of the persons now supporting the party are Liberty and Justice Party Leader, Lenox Shuman; The Citizenship Initiative’s Shazaam Ally; PNCR’s Daniel Seeram, Samuel Sandy and Dr. Richard Van-West Charles; and the AFC’s David Daniels.
