Youth engagement and empowerment took the forefront on Sunday, July 13, 2025, as the People’s Progressive Party/Civic (PPP/C) inaugurated its campaign for the upcoming elections in Georgetown, embracing a fresh wave of young candidates under the slogan ‘Forward Together for a Better Guyana’.
The energizing rally brought forth a multitude of new leaders who passionately urged voters to embrace a progressive vision that uplifts young Guyanese from all backgrounds.
Sarah Browne from the Progressive Youth Organisation (PYO) emphasized, “Now is a remarkable time to be young and Indigenous in Guyana. Our current state is a product of hard work and dedication.” She highlighted the administration’s strong policies in housing and education, asserting, “Many among us are the first in our families to attend university and achieve homeownership, thanks to the PPP/C.”
Vanda Pio, a youthful candidate from Region 8, rallied support for the party, emphasizing the ongoing opportunities for youth. “Let us work together to secure our future,” she urged the audience.
Economist Roger Rogers acknowledged the party’s commitment to investing in the youth, stating, “They are the pillars of our future.” Azizi Christiani from the Essequibo Coast echoed sentiments of inclusion, underlining the party’s belief in youth as active leaders now and not just in the future.
Former cricketer Steven Jacobs reminded attendees to prioritize leadership qualities over personalities in the upcoming election. The rally concluded with vibrant cultural performances, tying together political enthusiasm with a spirit of unity.
