Dear Editor,
The Granger Administration had recently proposed that a complete recount be made to conclude the outcome of the results of the March 2, 2020 General and Regional Elections. Many have justifiably argued against this in favour of the completion of the verification of the results of Region Four. I wish to lend support to the latter, since even our courts have rejected the twice declared results which included unverified results of Region Four because of a lack of procedural compliance, implying incompleteness.
Other than it can be concluded that everything being said and done so far by the Granger Administration has been meant to deceive Guyanese, common sense dictates that since all the other regions were satisfactorily verified, only Region Four needs to be concluded to wrap up the counting/verification exercise. This aside, an entire recount opens the way for further opportunities at creating confusion and fixing the results of the elections, something GECOM has remained committed to during the remainder of the verification exercise since Region Four. There is no question in the minds of ordinary Guyanese that the PNC is orchestrating all activities in GECOM to steal our democracy right under our very eyes, all testified to by diplomats of the ABCEs as well as international observers. We should be more interested in removing Clairmont Mingo and Keith Lowenfield from the exercise as we all know they have actively sought to issue fraudulent results. I maintain that those involved in false declarations and fixing the March 2, 2020 election results at GECOM are involved in crimes against the state and should face the full force of the law to stop, and discourage such activities in the future.
I once again urge the incumbent Administration to recognise the folly of proceeding along its current path, and allow GECOM to complete the finalisation and declaration of the election result in the interest of all Guyanese. They were voted in office in 2015. Let the electorate decide that they should remain.
Sincerely,
Craig Sylvester
