500 days since last Parliament; this has never happened under PPP/C

Dear Editor,
I have long been an admirer of Sherwood Lowe, and have held him up to be a role model for youths. However, with this letter, he has made my hand fall badly.
All Guyanese know that the APNU/AFC have lost the elections; if they had won, we would have been drowned with calls from them for the release of SOPs, like they did in 2015. Little children are making fun of senior members of Government, who are no longer looked up to and held in high esteem. It hurts me to hear, “Rubbastamp!” when Moses Nagamootoo, our former Prime Minister, passes our house.
When Lowe talks about what a ‘second-term’ coalition Government must do, he should begin with ‘democratically elected’; after that, he may suggest as many fanciful ideas as he wants. All the braggadocio in the world does not help, unless APNU/AFC starts producing Region 4 SOPs.
Lowe also claims there were objections in regions Three, Five and Six. He should also know that those objections were dealt with, and boxes were recounted and settled. In the case of the APNU/AFC demand for a recount of the entire Region 5 vote, it was agreed to, and in one day, twenty boxes were counted using one counting station. The result was an additional 78 votes for the PPPC, and at that point, the APNU/AFC Counting Agent requested the recount be abandoned, as the APNU/AFC were no longer interested in pressing their claims.
Lowe claims that Stabroek News is being paranoid in suggesting that coalition agents will create confusion and chaos during the recount. I suggest we allow all of the counting stations to be live streamed, so we can avoid the blame game if/when any disruption is attempted. Let the children of the nation see who is doing what and why. I look forward to raising my children in a democratic society, where Government officials are called on to explain their actions in Parliament. It has been five hundred days since anyone last sat in that great building, and that has never happened under the PPPC.
I am a firm believer that democracy needs multiple parties and a parliamentary system to function. I have switched allegiances between parties before, and may one day become disillusioned with the PPPC and back another party; but I will never switch to the deluded APNU/AFC. Newer parties have shown they share my belief in democracy, and I will be looking to them to be the conscience of the nation and keep the PPPC’s feet to the fire when they assume office after the recount.

Sincerely,
Dellon Davidson
