Dem Boys can’t do Maths
DEAR EDITOR,
While “Dem boys seh” is written and read for laughs it nonetheless creates impressions, many of them misleading and injurious to persons and our society.
I want to correct any impression that Mr. Jagdeo, our LOP, was in any way incorrect or sought to spin or mislead when challenging the AFC’s claim that it won 10% of the votes of the recently concluded LGE. Our LOP without doing a calculation estimated that the AFC could not have won more than 3.8 to 4%. He was correct.
From our PPP/C tabulation of SOPs for the PR votes, there were 119,214 for PPP/C, 61,032 for APNU, 7,379 for AFC and 467 for URP giving a total of 188,002 PR votes cast. AFC’s portion 7,379/188,002 equals 3.92%.
I say no more.
Samuel A. A. Hinds
