AFC writes to GECOM
Dear Sir,
The Alliance For Change (AFC) is greatly concerned that GECOM’s Commissioners are considering the PPP/C’s request to re-open the Claims and Objections period for additional persons’ names to be placed on the Preliminary Voters List (PVL).
The AFC states, unequivocally, that we reject any move to accommodate the PPP/C’s request as there is absolutely no legitimate basis on which it can be made. We take the opportunity to point out that all contesting parties are to be placed on a level playing field by the Commission, and as such, not only will a re- opening of the process greatly undermine this expectation, but will give the populace the impression that there is collusion between GECOM and the PPP/C government to provide an unfair advantage to the PPP/C at the upcoming elections.
An additional unwanted result of this nefarious request will be a further undermining of GECOM’s credibility; bringing into question, its ability to conduct free and fair General and Regional elections.
I need not stress on the unmanageable tensions that are likely to arise in such a situation.
We therefore demand that GECOM rejects the PPP/C’s request out rightly.
Raphael Trotman
Leader, Alliance For Change
