APNU+AFC accuses GECOM of selective announcement of results

May 14, 2015 News

The APNU+AFC Coalition is immensely disappointed and alarmed by GECOM’s selective announcement of results at its press conference last evening.
From the results announced it is obvious to the APNU+AFC Coalition that GECOM is cherry picking Statements of Poll to report on, in order to create an illusion of a close race. This is being specifically done by excluding Statements of Poll from Region Four where the Coalition has established a significant lead.
Of a total of 891 SoPs in Region Four, GECOM deliberately chose to report on only 474, leaving 417 unreported. We can find no acceptable reason for excluding such a large number of SoPs from Region Four in the announced results.
“The announcements made by GECOM last evening are irresponsible, reckless and provocative and appear designed to cause confusion and discord among Guyanese who are already in a state of anxiety and unease.”
APNU+AFC said that it is particularly appalled that GECOM reneged on a solemn commitment to announce 94 per cent of the results last evening. This commitment was made by the GECOM Commissioners to an APNU+AFC delegation led by the Presidential Candidate Brigadier David Granger.
Instead GECOM announced 78 per cent of the results while deliberately excluding large numbers of SoPs from Region Four, the coalition said.
“APNU+AFC calls on all supporters and the Guyanese public to remain calm and not be provoked by these irresponsible announcements from GECOM. We remain confident that the Coalition has established an unassailable lead and will form the next Government of Guyana.”
