APNU/AFC made Guyana into a laughing stock

Dear Editor,
For 50 days and counting, Guyanese citizens at home and abroad have been enduring embarrassment, shame and disgrace resulting from the David Granger-led APNU/AFC political outfit by refusing to concede defeat at the March 2, 2020, national elections.

Nine (9) of the 10 electoral districts completed the vote count within 24 hours, following the close of poll, in a fair, credible and transparent manner in the presence of all accredited agencies and contesting political parties, all of whom accepted and agreed with the count/tabulation of the votes as reflected in the circulated, officially signed Statements of Poll (SoPs). The exception was of District Four which included East Coast Demerara, Georgetown, and East Bank Demerara.

The unassailable lead of the PPP/C could not have been overtaken by a win of this District Four by the PNC and the ‘dead meat’ AFC, not to mention the one-man, paper party grouped as APNU, a fig leaf cover for PNC.
After about half the ballot boxes of District Four were counted in an acceptable way, the process was disrupted by various questionable means, to allow those compromised staff of the GECOM Secretariat, and the Returning Officer for District Four, Clairmont Mingo, and Chief Election Officer Keith Lowenfield and other PNC operatives to blatantly rig the elections, through various means, in the presence of all interested parties, and the international community.

Election rigging is part of the DNA of the PNC from 1968 to 1992 with Forbes Burnham, Hamilton Greene, Desmond Hoyte and Robert Corbin as the leading stars. This has been the most outstanding legacy of the PNC, along with a tattered economy and much suffering of the working people, a legacy promised by David Granger to continue, and this is currently in the making.

Is this not true Granger boy, with all the clear shenanigans of the PNC, and the AFC former Ministers, Prime Minister, Vice Presidents, etc and third-rate lawyers, all singing lustily for their mess of pottage? Is this not true Joseph Harmon, Basil Williams, Moses Nagamootoo, Khemraj Ramjattan, Raphael Trotman, and Cathy Hughes, and David Patterson? Are you not stealing an election and Government? What honesty, integrity and decency are in this barefaced and open determination to steal a Government and destroy democracy in this dear land of ours?

What are David Granger and his gang teaching our people, and what example are they setting for adults and children of the country? Those politicians, who claim to be religious for cheap political photographs, kneeling in churches, should do so by confessing the sins of cheating and stealing elections, and destroying democracy. God is not mocked; we all will face the judgement seat of Almighty God who requires righteous social and political justice without any political and racial discrimination.

With thanks,
Joshua Singh
