Claudette is gambling with the future of Guyana

Dear Editor,
Free, fair and credible elections entail many variables, but the most important is free access to the electoral process by all Guyanese voters, effective legal mechanism of redress (political parties that lost must have confidence in the Judiciary) and most importantly, the Guyana Elections Commission must be fully independent, impartial and competent in managing the elections as per provisions.
However different lenses are required in seeing and evaluating elections in different states of democracies.
Guyana became an authoritarian state since December 21, 2018. David Granger and his APNU/AFC cabal have infiltrated the GECOM Secretariat that is assisting in facilitating the hijacking of the March 2, 2020 elections. The recent step by the GECOM Chairperson to investigate the fabricated discrepancies of the APNU/AFC coalition confirmed that the GECOM Chairperson, from the inception of the “Mingo’s fiasco”, has been a part of the rigging cabal.
The failure of the GECOM Chairperson to immediately intervene and stop Mingo’s fiasco has led Guyana down the path of corrective measures, resulting in court cases, recount etc. Guyanese must not allow the results of this elections to be delayed any further than the prescribed timeframe that was gazetted. Miss Claudette Singh refrained from exposing her impartiality and tolerated the APNU/AFC coalition’s narrative of fraudulent elections since all the allegations that are being made public by APNU/AFC are being debunked by the PPP/C with valid evidence.
GECOM’s recount exercise that is ongoing would produce the most accurate results for any elections ever held in Guyana. The impartiality of GECOM and the Secretariat is the key to ensure that there are accurate results and declarations. While the APNU/AFC coalition is fighting for free, fair and credible elections with fabricated pieces of evidence, the most crucial factor to ensure that it is a possibility, is the impartiality of GECOM and its Secretariat.

With regards,
