Recommendations for the upcoming Elections recount and final declaration

May 03, 2020 Letters

Dear Editor,

Please permit me to share my predictions and recommendations for the upcoming recount and final declaration of Guyana Elections 2020. Every decision regarding this process has thus far been controversial.
GECOM has also been reactive rather than proactive towards a timely resolution for free, fair and credible elections. This makes it absolutely necessary for the recount process to be as expeditious and transparent as possible. This allows every stakeholder to accept the result or final declaration of GECOM.
The key stakeholders are the people of Guyana who cast their votes on the March 2, 2020. This brings the need for live streaming of said process.
The recommendations are as follows:
1. Have 10 different news outlets stream one recounting station each. This eliminates any of the concerns by Vincent Alexander and by extension the PNC whereby they claimed that TVG is biased. N.B. TVG offered to live stream the process.
2. All current Statements of Poll (SOP) received by Chief Elections Officers from all 10 Regions from the March 2, 2020 General and Regional Elections be published on the GECOM website, most importantly the SOPs from Region 4. These are public documents, not the property of GECOM.
3. Ballot boxes removed from and returned to the containers must be accompanied by representatives from all competing parties and the Guyana Police Force. To avoid confusion and mix-up of the boxes, a second set of empty storage containers must be obtained to store the ballot boxes that were recounted and resealed.
4. The Chair of GECOM must supervise the entire process.
We have a larger younger generation that do not care about race unless you feed them the same hate you have been fed.
As a concerned law-abiding, tax-paying citizen of Beautiful Guyana, I am confident that once the recount is free, fair, transparent and credible Guyanese will accept the final declaration results.
I humbly and finally recommend to all persons involved find it in your hearts to allow this process to conclude without hindrance or interference.
Yours Sincerely,
Christopher Singh
