Elections 2025: PPP wins big in Region Four 

The People’s Progressive Party Civic (PPP/C), which is projected to return to office, has finally won Region Four (Demerara-Mahaica), an electoral district it has never clinched before.

Based on the results declared by the region’s Returning Officer and seen by the News Room, the PPP/C got 87,536 votes in the general election.

Surprisingly, the PNC-led A Partnership for National Unity (APNU) got 46,956 votes in the region. This region was never lost by the PNC, which morphed into APNU in 2011, since Guyana gained independence in 1966.

In 2020, APNU got 116,941 votes in the region while the PPP got 80,920.

Several prominent political figures, including James Bond, a former executive member of the PNC/R who defected to the PPP this year, had projected a victory for the governing party in Region Four ahead of the polls.

Meanwhile, the third-highest number of votes went to the newly formed We Invest in Nationhood (WIN) party; that party got 41,607 votes in the region.

The Forward Guyana Movement got 2,431 votes in the region, while the Alliance For Change got 1,765, and the Assembly for Liberty and Prosperity got 497.

A total of 180,792 valid votes were cast in the region’s general elections.
