Facing defeat APNU/AFC wants elections annulled

Georgetown: After facing an inevitable defeat as the recount is expected to conclude in the new week with just almost 300 boxes left to be counted, the incumbent Coalition APNU+AFC Wednesday night in a press statement suggested that the elections should be nullified.

This is in the aftermath of two victory celebration with the use of fraudulent declarations by Clairmont Mingo.

The Region Four Returning Officer, Clairmont Mingo, is accused of declaring results for the region that are now being proven as inflated in favour of the incumbent APNU/AFC.

According to the PPP/C’s Presidential Candidate Irfan Ali, an easy way to find out whether the declaration by Mingo is false is for GECOM to make the documents public so that the citizenry can compare and draw their own conclusions.

Below is the press statement issued by APNU/AFC:

In an attempt to refute and cast doubt on the APNU+AFC’s recent identification of persons who were not in Guyana at the time of the March 2 election, the PPP/C stated  that Prominent Attorney Devindra Kissoon was in Guyana on March 2, 2020.

Fake News. The APNU+AFC never submitted the name of Devindra Kissoon on any of their lists as a person who was not in Guyana on the date of the Election.

These errors highlight that the PPP/C must provide evidence that the APNU+AFC counting agents identified that particular person and the serial number that was used in the process.

In a further blatant attempt at the complete fabrication and  fake news, the PPP listed and publicized in print Mr. Adler Bynoe as being in Guyana on March 2nd. However Mr. Bynoe has shared with us a copy of a letter he penned to the Chair of GECOM confirming that he was out of Guyana on election day. 

The Immigration Department is the only agency that can monitor and record (track) legal movements in and out of Guyana’s borders.

The APNU+AFC has been exposing evidence of electoral fraud perpetrated on this country by the PPP/C. We will continue to do so during this recount exercise. The APNU+AFC wishes to make it clear that President Granger and the Leader of the opposition agreed to a recount, the aim of which was to ensure that the results of this election can be deemed credible.

The recount process has revealed that the election of March 2, 2020 was riddled with fraudulent practices; the dead voted, people out of the jurisdiction voted, many unstamped ballots, missing certificates of employment, missing poll books, ballots cast over and above the number on the OLE and other fraudulent practices.

Any  results  emanating from this process cannot be considered credible because of the high incidence of fraud.                                                                                                                                               

It is good to remind the PPP/C that its own Anil Nandlall declared  while  referring to electoral fraud that “Once a fraud has been committed, it nullifies or voids the entire process.” The APNU+AFC expects that the PPP/C will not shift the goal post and will stick to this position.

We further advise the general public that the PPP/C will continue to solicit persons to make public statements on the basis of a false position which they put to them. We have received reports of these approaches taking place in Regions 3, 5, 6, and 7 and encourage any person so approached to post the information to our APNU+AFC page and we will publicize the perpetrators after verification.
