Granger boy, pick up the phone and call Dr Irfaan Ali

Dear Editor,
The Chief Justice Roxane George ruled that the data that emanated from the vote recount process, stands. This means that the 10 previous declarations made by the Returning Officers (ROs) – which the APNU/AFC want to be used – have no place in the determination of a victor at these elections.

Indeed, the court “sidestepped” the ten previous declarations including the fraudulent tabulated one compiled by Mingo, which had shown victory for the APNU/AFC, whereas the recount data put the People’s Progressive Party/Civic Presidential Candidate, Dr Irfaan Ali in office as Executive President of Guyana.
The Chief Justice was clear that those declarations have been overtaken by events whereby the Guyana Elections Commission (GECOM), in its wisdom, considered that there were difficulties that had to be addressed, and therefore created Order 60 (Recount Order) to address said issues.

The APNU/AFC, the main fraction the PNCR throughout these processes, made numerous allegations of electoral fraud at the polls. However, every Guyanese who voted on March 2 knew it was impossible to accomplish and the APNU/AFC was lying and creating mischief while buying time.
The PNCR has been advocating that these issues be addressed forthwith before any declaration is made, however, the Caribbean Court of Justice (CCJ) made it clear that these matters are better suited for an elections petition, and that GECOM cannot take on the powers of a court.

In a statement on Monday, Joseph Harmon, said: “We will continue to insist that fraudulent recount votes cannot determine the will of the Guyanese people.” Let me remind you, Joseph Harmon, the only fraudulent votes in these elections were the votes that Mingo produced which is now” sidestepped” by the Chief Justice is her ruling.
Here is the opportunity to put your party’s slogan made up by young people “Let the progress continue into full operation only with Dr Ali as our President leading that drive and have your party’s lawyers suspend their intent to go to the next level of the court system, that is, appealing this matter, by honouring, respecting and adhering to our Constitution.

Allow the Chairman of GECOM, Justice Claudette Singh no further delay in arriving at the declaration of the elections result from the recount and to move with all due urgency to the swearing-in of the newly elected President of Guyana.
The approach to the Court of Appeal is a waste of the court’s and taxpayers’ time and money, which we don’t have and it is intended as another obstruction of the elections declarations by the PNCR, creating the window of opportunity for further sanctions to be levied on the perpetrators that continue to torture and mislead this nation through this delay process.

The ruling by the High Court is reflective of every “stillbirth argument” presented by the PNCR in trying to convince their supporters, the Guyanese people and the international community that they were victorious at the March 2, 2020 polls. Like so many Guyanese, I call on you, Mr Granger, to stop lying to your supporters, stop torturing this nation, be the man you are and end this charade…Pick up the phone call Irfaan Ali and concede. That is courage and you will be respected by all. Don’t continue to make these elections seem to be more about benefits expected than the will of the Guyanese people.

The people of Guyana must know the potential cost of the APNU/AFC coalition’s continued obstinacy to the future of the country. Failure to abide by the will of the voters is putting in jeopardy the oil wealth in store for every Guyanese.

Sincerely,
David Adams
