The Coalition is yet to show its SOPs despite claiming it won on two different sets of numbers

Jun 26, 2020 Letters

Dear Editor,

On the 23rd day of June, 2020 the Chief Elections Officer submitted his report on the General and Regional Elections held on 2nd March, 2020, which showed a victory for the Coalition Government by way of producing fictitious numbers and altering the results of an elections. I know what you’re thinking: Fictitious?? How? Well, if you were following the events that followed after the Elections, you would see two clear distinct figures. The Mingo figures that showed an excess of over four hundred thousand valid votes cast and the Lowenfield figures which showed an excess of three thousand valid votes cast. My question is that if you professed that you won the elections then where are the Statement of Polls? And why are there two distinct figures on the occasions that you claim you won? I suggest that you should release your party SOPs so that this elections can be a transparent one.
Moreover, what is more disheartening is the lack of leadership shown during these elections. As a young Guyanese I am appalled. It is crystalline that you are acting upon your own self-interest and not in the interest of the nation and as such I cannot take you seriously. In theory no one is above the rule of law and if the rule of law is not followed it could lead to Anarchy. A legitimate regime is beneficial to Guyana’s economic growth as it solidifies the leadership standard of the country and also proves that the rule of law is being followed. When it comes to voting I would reply on the writings of Aristotle as he contends that voting should be taught. It is the lack of knowledge that will be the downfall of the nation.
Finally as a Guyanese I cannot stress enough how I am appalled and embarrassed by the low level leadership being displayed. From gaslighting supporters to hijacking an election, from the ‘interpretation’ of the words “more votes cast” as meaning “more valid votes cast” to producing fictitious numbers, truly this is one for the history books. As such I have no confidence in the leadership of the coalition since they are trying to silence democracy and the will of the people. As Thomas Hobbes said, and I paraphrase, “Man’s innate nature is selfishness in personally pursing power for himself.”
Yours truly,
Name withheld
