APNU+AFC sees ‘carefully orchestrated...

that the recount figures will be used to declare the result. The recount shows a win for the opposition PPP/C. GECOM is awaiting the conclusion of a case before the Guyana Court of Appeal before possibly moving ahead with the declaration.

Yesterday, the opposition PPP rejected the APNU+AFC claims.

It said that the APNU+AFC statement “clearly, cannot be intended for sane, rightthinking Guyanese. It seems written for a ‘captured’ David Granger who needs repeated convincing of the line being pushed by the Coalition’s Joseph Harmon and others and will no doubt be taken to Mr. Granger as ‘evidence’ of the (delusional) notion of an electoral victory.

“It rehashes a set of issues that have long been overtaken by events and judicial pronouncements from both the High Court and the Caribbean Court of Justice (CCJ). It continues to recite the ridiculous and unsubstantiated allegations made by APNU+AFC at the recount exercise; it accuses the PPP of rigging; it attacks Order 60 of 2020 and it quotes Justice Brassington Reynolds’ ruling in the Court of Appeal in the Eslyn David case, which was set aside by the CCJ.

“… (the author) erases the existence of a report produced by David Granger’s most `legitimate interlocutors’, the CARICOM team, who dismissed their allegations of irregularities as erroneous, unsubstantiated and of nuisance value only, while endorsing the recount as credible and transparent and calling for the results of the recount to be used as the basis for the declaration of the final results of the elections”, the PPP said.

It added that the author of this statement also ignores a 60-page judgement from Guyana’s highest court, the CCJ, which not only set aside Justice Reynolds’ decision in the Court of Appeal in the Eslyn David case, but also vacated Chief Election Officer Keith Lowenfield’s fraudulent report to the Guyana Elections Commission as well as endorsed the recount process as legal, fair and credible.

The PPP added: “Similarly, the statement omits to mention a word of the Chief Justice’s recent ruling in the Misenga Jones case, in which she dismissed a case based upon the identical sentiments expressed in the very statement.

“Finally, the delusional author of this statement repeats the outrageous allegation of a national and international conspiracy to oust the APNU+AFC from Government. If anything at all, this statement is proof to the world that the rigging cabal has clearly lost their minds and remains a threat of danger to Guyana and its people”.
