Govt. should regard elections reforms as one of its main priorities

Mar 28, 2021 Letters

DEAR EDITOR,

With the publication of the EU Election Observation Mission report, electoral issues and electoral reforms continue to rightly be in the public gaze.
The vast majority of Guyanese believe in fair and trouble free elections. To help this to happen, the Government should regard elections reforms as one of its main priorities and waste no more time in allocating whatever resources are deemed necessary. Also, there should be no delay in putting the necessary steps in place, to get rid of this home-grown handicap.
The Government continues to repeat its intention to engage everyone in Guyana and elsewhere to find solutions to the issues that keep holding Guyana back from becoming the ‘One Guyana’, home of all its peoples. Unless all Guyanese become satisfied that elections will deliver the type of Government best suited to Guyana, and are free and fair, the post-election agony may never be brought to an end.
In its outreach to all stakeholders, the Government must try and get the answers as to why many of us believe it is okay to support elections that do not truly reflect the will of the country. Whether the reasons to engage in rigging elections is perceived, orchestrated or based on fear of marginalisation, all effort must be made to find answers to get everyone to readily accept the election results.

Sincerely,
Muhammad Alli
