And for Party Leader and Prime Minister John Briceño, who has been going through battles recently, it was a welcome relief to be back in front of a crowd of the party faithful.
And the crowd erupted into cheers when Briceño made it official: he will remain as party leader for another term:
John Briceno, Prime Minister
"In 2018, we won our first election under my leadership, and in 2020, we won a historic victory for the PUP and this country. And we won in '21, we won in '24, and we won in '25. And we are going to win in '27 for the PUP and for our people. And I want to tell you, ladies and gentlemen, members and delegates, I want to solemnly promise to you: if you want me to continue to lead, I will lead the PUP into 2030 for another victory. Are you ready?"
"I want to thank my brother Cordel. We have been in many fights together, and whenever we're together, we fight together, we always win. Right, DPM? We always win."
