Dear Sir,
The Elections held in Guyana in March of 2020 has revealed evidence of wide spread election fraud, which was clearly orchestrated to hand the Presidency to Irfaan Ali and the country to the People’s Progressive Party. However, the Guyanese people will not be bullied or fooled.
I would like to compare the United States Presidential Elections of 2016 with that of Guyana, where concerns were raised about the integrity of the election held in the US, and where evidence of anomalies may have affected the results. In Michigan, for example, Trump won by 10,704 votes (0.2%), he also won Pennsylvania by 49,543 votes (0.8%) and Wisconsin by 27,257 votes (0.7%). A shift of half these votes would have been a win for Hilary Clinton, but this was not to be. In the end Trump received 304 electoral votes and Clinton received 227. Trump became the fifth president in the history of the United States to become President while losing the nation-wide popular vote. Allegations were made of hacking, and outside attempts, to alter the voting technology in the US 2016 elections. It was because of those allegations that one Jill Stein engineered a “recount” to see whether the process revealed any evidence of election fraud. According to Ms. Stein “the recounts are part of an election integrity movement to attempt to shine light on just how untrustworthy the US election System is”. Unfortunately, at the end of the “recount” process there was not enough votes to help Mrs. Clinton, and no evidence to support, that there was tampering with the results.
In Guyana, however, the anomalies and widespread evidence of election fraud in the, 2020 elections are unbelievable. There is glaring evidence to show, for example, that more ballots are recorded in a polling station than there are (electors) on the list of electors. Undoubtedly, a record showing that you have 380 votes when there are only 300 registered voters at the polling Station can never be credible. In any school or learning institution when you are caught “cheating” you are either not given a pass mark or you are expelled from the institution.
The People’s Progressive Party is asking the Court to declare them the winner of an election based on “fraudulent ballots”. How did they get those votes? The Guyana Elections Commission (GECOM) has the report of the Chief Elections Officer which shows that there are over 265,000 flawed votes. As Guyanese, should we shout to the heavens that the King has clothes when he is absolutely naked?
It is noted that after the elections of March 2020, we have seen a tremendous pressure on the Coalition Government from the International Community with regards to the General and Regional Elections held in Guyana. However, it is worthy to note that in 1997, Dr. Ali Hassan Mwinyi, one of the Commonwealth Observers to the 1997 Elections in Guyana stated:-
“We have no executive role. Our function is to observe the process as a whole and form an impartial judgment on credibility of the exercise.
“Our remit is to observe all relevant aspects of the organization and conduct of the elections in accordance with the laws of Guyana, and at the end make an independent assessment as to whether the conditions existed for the people of Guyana to freely express their will through the polls”.
I do hope that from then to now their remit has not changed. However, we all know too well what happened when an interim order for a restraint, which was granted by the then Chief Justice Desiree Bernard, was served on Janet Jagan, who later became President of Guyana, and the many atrocities which later befallen us under her Presidency. Was she a flower named June?
