APNU, GECOM Commissioner stop the butchering

Dear Editor,
It is sickening to hear APNU/AFC Executives and the APNU/AFC Guyana Elections Commission (GECOM) Commissioner Vincent Alexander demoralise the APNU/AFC and PPP agents, GECOM staff and the police officers that worked at the Polling Stations on March 2, 2020. In APNU/AFC’s efforts to justify their lies and Mr Alexander’s position to support their frivolous allegations (eg, dead man voting, ineligible migrants voting, missing documents, deliberate unstamped ballots), they have accused the APNU and PPP polling agents, GECOM staff and police officers of collusion. Massive collusion.
You see, in order for the dead or ineligible migrants to vote, all of the internal controls and safeguards laid out in the Representation of the People Act had to have been compromised. There is no evidence that this occurred but in APNU’s world, it played out like this. The impersonator came into the Polling Station, faked their identification, got their ballot, voted, got their finger inked (possibly 2x), went home and came back to vote again and again. All this was done in the presence of agents and staff and for it to go unreported or undetected, APNU is claiming that all officials in the respective Polling Station colluded in favour of the Opposition for monetary gains. Sounds ridiculous and for some, comical. But what this is doing is completely demoralising and dehumanising the hard-working people that gave their time to support and serve their country, the people that believed their party would do right by them and the officers that committed their lives to protect. What is even more disturbing is Mr Alexander’s claim goes as far as accusing ethnicities of colluding together. This trumps all. He has stated so on several occasions, as recent as his press conference on June 5. Mr Alexander believes the demographics of Polling Stations for the Opposition stronghold makes it susceptible for this to occur. In essence, the agents, staff and police officers of the Opposition stronghold are of similar ethnicity and because of this similarity, these persons would betray their loyalties, duties and moral obligations for the sake of unifying as an ethnic group to perpetrate fraud. This unproven theory is wrong in so many ways.
Some individuals accused of voter fraud have come forward to clear their names. Similarly, it is imperative that those who have worked tirelessly and diligently for their country on E-Day and who are being accused of these hideous crimes to come forward and denounce these blatant lies. Do not let this matter go unaddressed and allow these bullies to butcher your integrity.

With regards,
Bibi Ramdayal
