APNU/AFC now berating its agents for ‘colluding’ with PPP/C

As the A Partnership for National Unity/Alliance For Change coalition continues to make unsubstantiated claims of electoral fraud, the party is now accusing its own polling agents of colluding with its biggest competitor – the People’s Progressive Party/Civic (PPP/C).

APNU/AFC Executive Member, James Bond, on Facebook live on Saturday threw their polling day agents under the proverbial bus, accusing them of collusion.

“Persons are saying that APNU agents were there [at the Polling Station]. Those agents, so-called agents, that persons are saying that they belonged to APNU/AFC that were in those places when these things happened, shame on you. If you were there at all, shame on you. Shame on you because it is impossible for us to accept that it is anything but collusion, criminal collusion,” Bond aid while berating the very agents his party claimed were highly trained.

However, the attorney-at-law did not stop at accusing his party’s agent but also turned to the GECOM officers as well.
“There is no list in the box. The council [PPP/C] procured the PO [Presiding Officers] in the Polling Stations and allowed them to issue ballots [to] people who were never on the OLE [Official List of Electors] or these PO simply marked ‘x’ for the People’s Progressive Party/Civic and put it in the ballot box,” Bond said before going off on a tangent.

The APNU/AFC has been peddling the narrative of elections fraud, claiming that ‘migrated’ and ‘dead’ persons voted on E-Day. However, these unconfirmed narratives only began after the national elections recount results exposed that Region Four (Demerara-Mahaica) Returning Officer, Clairmont Mingo, inflated the votes in favour of the APNU/AFC. No one from the APNU/AFC has acknowledged the blatant fraud on their behalf by Mingo. Prior to the revelations of Mingo’s fraud, the APNU/AFC had claimed victory to the March 2 polls.

For one week they hosted victory parties at the Lamaha Street, Georgetown head office based on the now discredited and fraudulent figures.
