CRG and the 2020 elections

Jan 04, 2020 Letters

DEAR EDITOR,

Today I was notified by GECOM that my name was not on the list of voters. I had reached out to GECOM concerning this issue prior and had not received a response and therefore rechecked after the latest release of the RLE. It is quite revealing that such an organisation, which is supposed to be committed to an impartial process would have such a resulting error in their database which does not coincide with the GRA database. In addition, it can be clearly observed that the number of voters is quite substantial compared to the population. This data leaves little doubt concerning the integrity or lack thereof for the election process this year.
To my supporters, I thank you for your support and will be left no choice but to withdraw from the upcoming election process in the face of what clearly has become an election that is not reflective of the will of the people.

The division of our nation along racial lines continues to affect the integrity and the biasness of the functionality of our institutions and communities. It is unfortunate that this is the path that our great nation is on and it was my hope that the new found wealth would not result in blind ambition at any cost amongst those in power and those whose livelihood depend on the party in power.
We are where we are today as a result of tit for tat actions between the major races instead of national reconciliation and I hope the wisdom of learning from past mistakes will direct the actions of those who are reluctant to trust the will of the people of “Our Beautiful Guyana”.

Best regards,
Mr. Jamil Changlee
Chairman
The Cooperative Republicans of Guyana
