APNU/AFC clutching at the last straw

Dear Editor,
APNU/AFC is at it non-stop. I mean where is thing going and when will it end? The title in the press reads: “APNU+AFC accuses GECOM of failing to act on evidence of voter impersonation during 2020 elections.” Pathetic to the utmost indeed! The details show that Leader of the Opposition, Aubrey Norton, and APNU+AFC Shadow Minister of Legal Affairs, Roysdale Forde, SC, are saying that there was a “… reluctance by GECOM to look into the claims of voter fraud submitted by his party.” They add “Even worse, Chairperson, Justice rtd. Claudette Singh has declined to act on the ‘irrefutable’ evidence of significant voter impersonation already in GECOM’s possession. (and that) This is a blatant dereliction of duty on her part. (and thus) It provides further justification to our call for her to step down.” So, to Norton and Forde, and the few followers of these charlatans, I have a few reminders.
First, right after polling day, Claudette Singh declared, quite publicly too, that “Guyana’s General and Regional Elections were free, fair and a major success.” Her informed and in-depth pronouncement explained that this was so “… despite facing a plethora of challenges in the ‘lead up to (the) Monday, March 2, General and Regional Elections across the country’s 10 Administrative Regions.” Of note, was that the Chair expressed gratitude for the extensive work done by the Chief Elections Officer (CEO), Keith Lowenfield, and his team at the GECOM Secretariat. At this juncture, there was not any grouse.
Then after they engaged with the press on E-Day, International Observers, in particular the Organisation of American States (OAS), the European Union (EU), the Carter Center, and the Commonwealth, “… lauded the Elections Commission for conducting an almost seamless election.” Again, at this juncture, there was not any complaint from anyone. None came even as OAS Chief of Mission, Bruce Golding emphasized that “The Mission commends the electoral authorities, including the poll workers, party agents, supervisory personnel and security agents who facilitated the conduct of the voting process…”
Topping off all this admission of a well-run 2020 General and Regional Elections, Former President David Granger, said he was satisfied with the electoral process, even though A Partnership for National Unity + Alliance for Change (APNU+AFC) Coalition had noticed a few anomalies and abuses. What were these?
It was that at “… some polling stations, the six-digit stamps were only stamping four digits…” and that “… the ‘Coalition’ intends to raise its concerns with GECOM in the not-so-distant future.” I mean, this mechanical issue was the only negative thing that was pointed out by the then president.
Secondly, on May 26, 2020, a very seminal occurrence took place. This was when Former Attorney-General Basil Williams, stated that the Recount was illegal, and hence the previous declarations (the fictitious APNU/AFC’s SoPs) were the only legal declarations, which according to him, meant that his then ruling party would have won.
I say again, even up to this point, there was not even a smidgen of suggestion that there was anything like ‘claims of voter fraud.’ Then, in the same vein, Granger himself, who after realizing that the Recount would have confirmed APNU/AFC’s dread, that is, a PPP/C win, dodged any commitment to abiding by the outcome of the Recount, saying instead, that “… he and his juniors are insisting on reverting to the previous declarations (again from fabricated numbers), that he will abide by “any declaration” (meaning the illegal one concocted by Clairmont Mingo and Keith Lowenfield) coming out of GECOM.
Editor, it is just too much now. The dalliance, prevarication, subterfuge, and all manner of ‘back and forth running around from APNU/AFC must be abolished. I am glad that numerical support has vastly waned, and calls for protest are falling on many deaf ears.
That is why I am I inviting all to revisit “VOTER IMPERSONATION WAS JUST NOT POSSIBLE-LOWENFIELD” on YouTube, and get the full impact of the crass propaganda and puerile efforts of the opposition; they seem interminably stuck in functional otiosity.
They, the crumbling opposition, are only now, at this late hour, claiming that “… voter impersonation (was so wide-spread) in the March 2020 election seriously calls into question the validity of the election results…” I mean if Mingo and Lowenfield, along with Roxanne Myers, were allowed to impose their tabulation, there would have been no talk about any kind of fraud.
Finally, this is the icing on the cake. As it was with the ‘hoarding of their SoPs, so it is again with APNU/AFC, who, after claiming that they have immigration and registration data to vindicate their claims of voting impersonation, is incensed that the Guyana Elections Commission (GECOM) has voted to release documents requested by Attorney General Anil Nandlall, SC, to investigate the very claims of rigging made by them. The silly excuse is that the information is in the documents that are contained in their election petition. Well, if so be the case, then let GECOOM be the first to give APNU/AFC a taste of victory. After all, if rigging can be proved, then the 2020 poll will be ‘null and void.’ It makes no sense that the very accusation of “…reluctance by GECOM to look into the claims of voter fraud, submitted by APNU/AFC, is the very thing voted against by the opposition GECOM Commissioners-SMH and LOL. They were set to get a good glimpse of how they will prove their point in their elections petition court hearing.
Editor, it is one thing to be ‘playing the fool,’ but quite another to be ‘followers of fools.’ I call on the dwindling opposition supporters not to be led by the blind. Jail does not discriminate; it accepts all guilty parties.

Yours truly,
H. Singh
