Opposition parties say Gov’t worried over no-confidence motion

…employs “delay tactics”

With the possible vote of “no confidence” against the incumbent People’s Progressive Party (PPP) government lingering, Opposition parties say they feel that all will be done to delay the holding of General Elections.  They are convinced that the government will go out of its way to set back the polls, “as much as they have delayed Local Government Elections.” Former Foreign Affairs Minister and People’s National Congress member, Aubrey Norton told Kaieteur News yesterday that there are several scenarios to be considered when assessing the country’s political situation. As it stands, the PPP-government is facing a majority vote-out by opposition members who have already pledged no-confidence in their manner of governance. Norton believes that the PPP will be embarrassed that in Guyana’s short post-independence history, it will be the first party forced out of office. He thinks that “delay tactics” will be employed by the government because ground response might not be in their favour. “The PPP is right now testing the ground, and I don’t think they like the response.” He told the newspaper that since the party no longer has a grip on the Guyana Elections Commission, it must be considered that the government, “although there is no basis, would still turn to the law where they believe they have more backing, to challenge the motion.” He said that with the release of former Chief Elections Commissioner Gocool Boodoo, the PPP has no “insider.” Also government’s claim that GECOM is not prepared to host elections is another delay tactic. Norton opined that the contradiction of information from government and GECOM “is another signal that the PPP is no longer in control after 28 years.” “The PPP is worried. There is a no-confidence motion, and no question that it will be addressed.” The opposition parties are unfazed by suggestion of a snap election. “The faster, the better, we just want them out!” was the response by Alliance for Change’s (AFC) General Secretary, David Patterson when asked about early polls. General Secretary of the PPP, Clement Rohee, and Head of the Presidential Secretariat, Dr Roger Luncheon have questioned the readiness of GECOM to hold any kind of elections. Rohee had stated that “the PPP is not confident this has been done thoroughly so as to ensure that every eligible voter will be correctly placed on his or her constituency list.” Kaieteur News was told that the Presidential Secretary had also inquired of the Parliament whether the no-confidence motion was legal. Inquires were also made as to why the motion should have one line. However with the provision of research documents and examples from other countries, it was explained that the motion was properly and legally worded.

AFC giving PPP shittings on a daily basis, PPP ask Babbie to find a truckload of immodium and deliver to freedom house.

You leff Conscience and YUJI and all them PPP boys alone.  They having mental diarrhea these days.

It would be in the best interest of the AFC to form a coalition with the PNC.

I want to see a real political fight between the combined opposition and the PPP. We must all respect the results of such an election.

Winner takes all.

So yuji, after the opposition wins, which side you gon deh on?

Bro

PPP until I die.

If that happens, I will be doing the same thing that you are doing right now, Fighting.

Now remember, I support a winner takes all. I do not want to see the AFC/PNC whining and complaining after a PPP victory.

I am curious about what message the AFC will take the people at the next general elections. Are they going to say the PPP bad and the PNC is good?  If the PNC is bad then why were you backing them in parliament and on the streets?  If the PNC is good then why don't you merge with them and be one happy family?  The AFC will have a difficult time sending an acceptable campaign message to the people. I expect to see the AFC winning less than 3% of the votes which will reflect the alienation among its supporters currently

As long as the PPP get kicked out, the people doan give a rass about anything else.

Is yall who doan even care about goin back to Guyana but still back the present Govt, who does come up with all dat stupidness.

Wishful thinking -- will not happen.
