To recognize the legitimacy of the govt., a recount must be conducted – Canadian Minister
“We believe a recount of the ballots is necessary to ensure every vote is counted. The will of the people must be respected for Canada to recognize the legitimacy of a duly elected government.”
Canadian Diplomat, Assistant Deputy Minister, Michael Grant.
These were the very stern and damning words put forward yesterday by Canadian Diplomat, Assistant Deputy Minister, Michael Grant, via his Twitter account.
Grant, who is also a Director of Research at The Conference Board of Canada, disclosed that his nation was “closely monitoring” the legal proceedings related to Guyana’s elections.
The Conference Board of Canada is a Canadian not-for-profit think tank dedicated to researching and analyzing economic trends, as well as organizational performance and public policy issues. Describing itself as “objective” and “non-partisan”, the Conference Board of Canada claims not to lobby for special interests.
Grant has joined the plethora of diplomats from the local and international communities, who have called for a national recount before any political party that contested in the March 2 General and Regional Elections is sworn in. Opposing parties stated that the District Four results that were produced were fraudulent and have requested a national recount.
The United Kingdom, the United States of America, and the European Union have all threatened to impose sanctions against Guyana if a President is sworn in on the basis of fraudulent results.
