Georgetown : The People’s progressive Party (PPP) rejects completely the statement made by Guyana Elections Commission Chairman, Mr. Surujbally that:
“It would be impossible to prove who took the false Statement of Poll into the Commission … and I couldn’t see why we would proceed with an investigation”
The opposition party says the statement is a reflection of Gecom’s gross incompetence and an indictment of the organisation’s inability to conduct a free and fair elections unless there are reforms of Gecom’s machinery.
The statement is also a confession of the extent to which Gecom’s security procedures and quality control measure have been compromised.
Further, the statement smacks of another unilateral conclusion reached by Mr. Surujbally thus confirming grave suspicions of many about his biased judgment.
The PPP is convinced that had the Party returned to office following the May elections and with such an allegation hanging over the Commission, the APNU+AFC in opposition would have refused to accept the results, claimed the elections were rigged, probably burnt the city down and demanded another forensic audit.
The PPP contends that Mr. Surujbally must know that by offering platitudes such as “it really hurt” will not, in anyway, satisfy the deep suspicion and pain suffered nor allay the lack of confidence by the thousands who voted for the PPP/C.
