Granger is the absolute mastermind of all machinations of PNC/APNU/AFC

Dear Editor,
With the completion of the GECOM national recount of votes cast at the 2nd March, 2020 General and Regional Elections firmly placing the PPP/C as the winner with 233,336 votes, as against the APNU/AFC’s 217,920 votes, there is nothing to date that indicates acceptance of defeat on the part of the incumbent APNU/AFC.
Instead, all the players in the PNC/APNU/AFC have jointly and severally embarked on a nasty, devious and obnoxious action plan to discredit the results of the recount. They have conceitedly resorted to calling on GECOM to invalidate the elections based on their mind-afflicted imaginary anomalies and their spurious claims of fraud.
Caretaker President David Arthur Granger has no intention of demitting office; expect nothing better of him. Granger knows fully well that the PNC-led APNU/AFC Coalition has lost the elections. He needed no recount, but by no measure is he going to accept defeat. He agreed to the National Recount only to bolster his usual diversionary ploys for buying time and creating long delays.
Faced with mounting calls from within Guyana, from past and present Caricom Leaders, and from the international community, Granger has doggedly stayed unyielding. Instead, he responded by unleashing his plethora of subordinates to heap scorn and besmirch the character of anyone who dares to call on him to respect and honour the will of the Guyanese people.
The vile display of lawlessness by the APNU/AFC has negatively impacted the daily life of Guyana, moreso since the first day of the commencement of the national recount process.
Granger’s owning up to, and defending of, Harmon’s dismissive and outrageous personality assault on present and former distinguished leaders of Caricom countries on the ‘Straight up’ live talk show radio programme hosted by Mark Benschop on 12th June, 2020 spells danger in the making. Harmon’s unsubstantiated claims of unstamped ballots, destroyed ballots, lack of authenticity of the ballots, votes cast without ID cards, the number of proxies issued, statistical anomalies, breaches of counterfoil foils, missing poll books, boxes without records, and overvoting are all just wild accusations wittingly intended to rile up their support base.
The road talk shows hosted mainly by Christopher Jones and Sherod Avery Duncan, assisted by other accomplices at times, have been operationalised for that very purpose. On the completion of the GECOM national recount at the ACCC, they deliberately and wickedly ventured out into the other Regions to spread lies, lies, and more lies and distortions of the factual results from the National Recount already in the public domain. Their conspiracies know no bounds.
Caretaker President Granger’s recent sermons, which he has been spilling out to the nation on his supposed foreign interference in Guyana’s internal affairs, have no merit and are most spurious and despicable. His monotonous narratives, like a nursery rhyme since the passing of the No Confidence Motion against the government on the 21st December, 2018, reek of insanity. He has been saying such things as he has “always acted within the constitution”, he has “not interfered with the work of the GECOM”, and that he has “always respected the rulings of the Court”; but these are all laughable and disgusting.
The whole world knows differently, he does exactly the opposite. His utterances have become so asinine and insulting to the intelligence of the Guyanese populace that they have gone far beyond the comprehension of all rational human beings. There are those who would like to think that Granger is being pressured by some in his rigging cabal in the PNC, but that is far from the truth. Granger is in full control; scheming, plotting and planning way ahead of time.
In his ramblings, he showered praise on Caricom, hoping that the three-member scrutinising team’s report would justify his claims of malfeasance at the 2020 elections. He avoids any mention of the blocking of the Carter Center Observer Mission, whose presence here would have given a tremendous boost to the transparency of the recount process.
The Granger-PNC cabal and the APNU/AFC have imbued into their unsuspecting supporters the cold-hearted lie that they have been cheated at the 2020 General and Regional Elections by the PPP; whereas it is an indisputable fact that it was the GECOM that managed the elections, for which the Secretariat consistently compromised with the PNC/APNU/AFC.
Granger is the absolute mastermind of all the machinations of the PNC/APNU/AFC. The truth is inevitable, and once that dawns upon the people, they continue to misinform. It will work towards their detriment more than anyone else.

Respectfully
