Dear Editor,
Guyanese must know the truth. On Saturday, May 2 the Carter Center indicated that they were unable to get approval from the caretaker Government to fly to Guyana on Monday, May 4, to observe the national recount of the votes cast on March 2, 2020. This shocking turn of events now tells us all that the APNU/AFC rigging machinery is in full motion as the PNCR calls war break with the Carter observers and the people of Guyana “to remain in Government at any cause”.
How low will this caretaker Government go? The Carter Center first played a key role in the historic election in Guyana since 1992. The people of Guyana have great respect and confidence in the Carter Center.
APNU has been on the offensive, trying to dominate social media with lies to create confusion around the recount process. Their narrative is that they won the elections and that the People’s Progressive Party doesn’t want the recount.
The APNU/AFC will do anything possible to continue to create doubts in the minds of many citizens of Guyana, leaving them to believe that nothing positive will come out of the recount process. We have done our part as Guyanese citizens; we went out and voted for the party of our choice on March 2, 2020.
We the people of Guyana call on all stakeholders in Guyana to ensure a credible and transparent recount process in order to provide legitimacy to the Government that will be sworn in after the recount is completed.
Our country now finds itself in an embarrassing situation before the world and the international observers by rejecting the Carter Center from observing these recounts. Our decent Guyanese citizens, the international and the diplomatic community continue to ask GECOM to do everything possible to protect our democracy and to ensure that this recounts is done credibly and transparent
We asked the APNU/AFC and their cabal to stop peddling lies that will distort the recount process, even as the process begins today. Stop fabricating contention that the People’s Progressive Party/Civic will be challenging the start of the recount process. These are bizarre lies. The People’s Progressive Party/Civic has led the struggle and the way for this recount to happen, the will of the Guyanese people must prevail. The APNU/AFC needs to publish their SoPs for every Guyanese to see and stop holding us hostage.
Sincerely,
David Adams
