General Secretary of the People’s Progressive Party (PPP), Dr Bharrat Jagdeo, on Tuesday (May 12, 2026), met with a group of former A Partnership for National Unity (APNU) Members of Parliament and current Regional Councillors at their request.
Those attending the meeting included former Members of Parliament Rickly Ramsaroop, Shurwayne Holder and Dinesh Jaiprashad, along with current Regional Councillors Ravoldo Birbal, Sheik Yaseen, Prince Holder and Gangadai Lloyd.
During the meeting, the group expressed to the General Secretary a desire to be associated with the People’s Progressive Party and to contribute meaningfully to Guyana’s ongoing development, while serving the interests of the Guyanese people, as the country advances along an unprecedented path of economic growth and modernisation.
The group praised the Party’s stewardship of the economy, inclusive approach to governance, and the scale of transformation taking place across the country. They noted that the PPP has demonstrated the leadership, capacity and technical expertise required to effectively manage the country, sustain growth, and improve the welfare of every Guyanese, regardless of race, religion, or any other differentiating factor.
The group also described the Party’s openness as welcoming and contrasted the current political atmosphere with their previous experiences. They observed that the Party’s manifesto outlines plans that have been, and continue to be, vigorously pursued, resulting in tangible improvements in the lives of Guyanese and communities across the country.
The General Secretary indicated that the PPP is a Party of inclusion that works for all Guyanese, and therefore welcomed the interest expressed by the group.
The PPP reaffirms that the Party’s focus remains on strengthening national cohesion, expanding opportunities for citizens, and ensuring that the benefits of development reach all Guyanese.
