Dear Editor,
The PNC Opposition and its associate partner the AFC, have hinted that they will not be participating in the upcoming Local Government Elections. Among the reasons they have sourced is that the voters’ list is bloated, and for this they would not contest. But this is fallacious reasoning, in that the voters’ list has been updated in its entirety, with the Claims and Objections when the Opposition would have been afforded the opportunity to raise the very issues they are touting now. But they did not, they simply stayed away, not even raising a single issue.
So, to come now and raise this issue is exposing them for the duplicitous elements they are, a diabolical group who cannot engage in a clean fight. What the PNC is not telling us is that they are unprepared for an election contest with the ruling Administration. This fact is even more damning, when you view the main Opposition having serious internal issues, so how can they stand united in the face of an impending election, this is the burning question they have to face up to.
They are also building up an alibi that the PPP/C would have won because they would have utilised fictitious names from a bloated list. This is not a new phenomenon because when you look at prior engagements with this party, you would have seen a true revelation of the same deceitful strategy in full display. Hoyte did it when he lost by a landslide to Mrs Jagan, he too made frivolous claims of a bloated electoral list. He then marshalled his thugs on to the streets to loot, shoot and burn.
The question I would like to ask Mr Norton is – is this the strategy he would want to implement?
Respectfully,
Neil Adams
