Dear Editor,
Space does not allow me to fully convey to the readers, all of the current election episodes that have been rapidly released since March 2, 2020; however, I would like to share some of my views on Guyana’s elections saga that’s still in progress. It has been more than 50 days since General and Regional Elections were concluded in Guyana and to date, credible results has not been declared by GECOM.
Guyanese and the entire world were forced to subscribe in witnessing the most blatant and clumsiest rig attempt with Region Four tabulation by suspected APNU/AFC operatives employed by GECOM.
The RO for Region Four, Claymont Mingo shamelessly disregarded Section 84 (1) of the Representation of the People Act, which is pellucid in regard to the procedures that should be followed during the tabulation of votes.
Mr Mingo, on March 4, 2020, using inaccurate numbers, declared victory in favour of APNU/AFC; an injunction was filed in court by the PPP/C whereby the Chief Justice ruled that the declaration made by Mr Mingo isn’t valid because he didn’t follow the law in conducting Region Four’s tabulation.
He was ordered by the court to conduct the tabulation as prescribed by law in the Representation of The People Act Cap 1:03. On March 14, 2020, Mr Mingo disregarded the court order and once again declared victory in favour of APNU/AFC, using a different set of inaccurate magical numbers.
Due to several litigations and non-acceptance of Mr Mingo’s magical numbers by the PPP/C, all small political parties, local and international bodies, GECOM is in the process of conducting a national recount of all votes cast on the March 2 General and Regional Elections, but we continue to witness forces that seems hell-bent on delaying and frustrating the process.
By now every right-thinking person should realise the inevitable, which is the PPP/C won the elections, who vex vex!!
Kind regards,
Quincy Anderson
