Georgetown: General Secretary of the People’s National Congress/Reform (PNC/R), Amna Ally on Friday said if there is evidence that just one person voted in the name of a dead person then that would invalidate the entire elections.
Although the APNU+AFC Coalition is yet to produce its Statement of Polls (SOP) two months after claiming it won the March 2nd General and Region elections, the party continues to claim that the PPP is afraid of what is being uncovered in the ongoing national recount of votes.

“PPP is afraid of what I call a ‘skin-up’ by all these things that are happening right now in the various administrative regions,” Ally said.
“You don’t have to have 300,000 dead voters. The fact that one dead voted, it does not lend to credible elections and that must be taken into consideration,” Ally declared Friday.
However, the Coalition has failed to produce any evidence to back up its claims that persons who were dead and persons who were out of the country voted on March 02.
A total of 130 countries have deemed the elections result fraudulent and statistics from the recount have so far shown that the elections were rigged in favour of APNU+AFC.
This trend was particularly observed in Region 4, where the Returning Officer (RO) for that district, Clairmont Mingo departed from the legally established procedure for tabulation and instead relied on a spreadsheet of unknown origin.
Ally also sought to justify the coalition’s withholding of its SOPs by saying that the Guyana Elections Commission (GECOM) has the official SOPs.
“The official SOPs to be used is SOPs by GECOM. PPP concocted their SOPS to illustrate results that they preconceive as a win for these elections. SOPs from GECOM illustrated that the Coalition has won these elections and these were SOPs confirmed by all 10 ROs,” she said.
However, Ally stayed clear of asking for the SOPs to be released by the elections regulatory body.
Regarding its claims during the recount exercise of the dead and those out of the country voting, Alli said: “We are putting them together now and we are going to put them out – the names of the persons who died.”
On Friday, GECOM counted 58 boxes bringing the total to 479 for Regions 1-5.
Of the total number of boxes counted, 462 Statements of Recount were tabulated for the General Election and 464 for the Regional Election.
Friday marks 74 days since Guyanese visited the 2,339 polling stations to cast their vote for a party of their choice.
The Commission is looking to increase the number of recount stations at the Arthur Chung Conference Center from 10 to approximately 16 in order to speed up the process and declare a winner of the March 2 election.
They are awaiting approval from the national COVID-19 Task Force which is made up of high-ranking members from the incumbent APNU+AFC.
