Dear Editor,
THE March 02 national and regional elections recount is currently in process; and maybe, for the sake of objectivity and analysis, one should comment at the end of this exercise. However, since there is no legal gag or constraint on views, I now pen the following thoughts.
With what is now emerging from those ballot boxes in the recount process, the Coalition Government has been proven right in its insistence that House-to-House Registration take place for the compilation of a clean voter’s list, which is the bedrock of a transparent process of free and fair elections. There could be no other methodology, except a sanitised list.
Of course, we all will recall the PPP/C fighting desperately, in what had become a trenchant dishonest battle, to prevent such a process, which it had always supported in prior instances, except this one, which, because of sinister intentions, they objected to, as if its political life depended on it. The fact of even challenging the legitimacy of such a prerequisite of national registration at the High Court underlined clear dishonest intentions for objecting to such a list.
One can surmise that the exercise had had to be aborted, because of the CCJ ruling that elections had to be held in the ‘shortest time possible’. It was an edict which had not been lost on the person of the Madame Chair, the distinguished retired judge.
Thus, a till bloated and uncleansed list had to be used for N&RE March 02, because of the judicial time line with regards polling day.
Such must have set off the pealing of the bells of dishonesty in Robb Street, given that such list was to be used. However, THE VERY LATTER LIST, which has finally proven the crooked intentions of the PPP/C, with all of the fraudulent revelations that have exposed: persons being resurrected from their eternal rest to vote; persons residing overseas, suddenly being teleported to the ballot box; persons who voted without identification (ID), although they were requested to uplift such a document, lying at the GECOM offices since 2008. From the reports, they voted without the necessary Affidavit of Identity, being done; Poll books which must contain all the activity with regard the particular ballot box; and missing lists of voters for the particular district, which have to be used to tally the number of actual ballots cast.
Editor, those very lists have NOW RETURNED TO EXPOSE THE DEEP DARK PLOTS OF ELECTORAL FRAUD AND DISHONESTY, PERPETRATED BY THE PPP/C AT THE MARCH 02 POLLS. It cannot be any clearer than this.
The nation can now be satisfied as to all the reasons why this COLLECTIVE OF POLITICAL DEVIANTS AND THEIR EQUALLY DEVIOUS VESTED INTEREST ALLIES, ET AL WOULD HAVE WAGED AN OVERTIME BATTLE AGAINST THE NATIONAL REGISTRATION LAWS, TO SCUTTLE a legitimate constitutional process that is an electoral requirement. It is a list that will be their measurement of final judgement.
Regards,
Carla Mendonca
