Gang destroying PPP campaign posters- Freedom House upset

 

Georgetown : Information out of the People’s Progressive Party (PPP) headquarters, Freedom House complains of  reports of a gang of about 3 to 4 persons who were in the Kitty area yesterday defacing billboards, removing posters and scrolls between the hours of 18:30 and 19:00 hrs. They further proceeded to a certain part of the East Bank of Demerara where similar acts were conducted. The group seems very organized, limited in number but centrally directed in terms of targeting PPP/C campaign materials.

The party claims these forms of advertisements have all been conveying positive messages in keeping with the theme of their campaign and the qualities of the presidential candidate.

The party pointed out that what was strange is the fact that apart from the timing of these brazen acts, such actions in Kitty took place a short distance from the Kitty Police station.

The party considers this an act of hooliganism and not befitting the standards that Guyanese deserve and want during this elections period.

The PPP/C was the first party to indicate to the Guyana Elections Commission our willingness to sign the Elections code of conduct and is disappointed that APNU and the AFC are hesitant to sign the document.

The PPP/C will continue to bring this type of behavior to the attention of GECOM, the Election Observers and all others concerned.

The PPP calls on Guyana Police Force to step up its vigilance as these acts were being carried out during the evening, where our supporters were told not to confront these very provocative acts.
