The People's Progressive Party /Civic (PPP/C) is a centre-left to left-leaning political party in Guyana. (...) The PPP was founded on 1 January 1950 as a merger of the British Guiana Labour Party led by Forbes Burnham and the Political Affairs Committee led by Cheddi Jagan,[5] and was the first mass party in the country. It was initially a multi-ethnic party supported by workers and intellectuals.[6] The party held its first congress on 1 April 1951. Its third congress was held in 1953, with Burnham unsuccessfully seeking to become party leader.[7] The party went on to win the 1953 elections, taking 18 of the 24 elected seats in the House of Assembly, resulting in Jagan becoming Chief Minister.
