Do Not Support A Return To Dictatorship Under the Coalition

Jun 20, 2020 Letters

DEAR EDITOR,

Traditional coalition supporters are encouraged to resist efforts by the coalition to make them feel that the March 2020 elections were not free, fair and the recount not credible. Observers from the US, UK, Canada and Europe acknowledged that the elections were free and fair, the Recount held at the Arthur Chung Conference Center conducted under the inspection for elections officers from within CARICOM delivered a report confirming the election results, with the statements of recount matching the statements of poll.
The simple fact is the coalition, both the AFC and the PNC within the APNU, are in possession of the original statements of poll, but are unwilling to concede that they lost the election. Their claims of ‘evidence of electoral fraud’ have been proven to be false in many cases. The CARICOM team in which the Coalition placed their confidence confirms that the March 2020 elections were fair and credible, and while there were some instances of irregularities, these in no way amounted to a case that significantly altered the outcome of the elections, so that the results based on the Recount are valid, credible and can be used for determining the winner of the election, this being the People’s Progressive Party. The Chairperson on June 16, 2020 advised Chief Elections Officer, Keith Lowenfield, to finalize his Final Report on the election results based on those generated by the Recount, which shows the PPP securing 233,336 votes to the Coalition’s 217,920 votes, a difference of 15,416 votes in favour of the PPP. The PPP won the March 2020 National and Regional Elections.
The recent filing in the Court of Appeal to discredit the elections is another in the long list of efforts to subvert Guyana’s democracy and deny the PPP, the duly elected government their right to govern. Do not support efforts to return to a dictatorship under the coalition.

Regards,
Craig Sylvester
