Did GECOM give a timeline of full preparedness? The Chairman's illness is taking into consideration? Supposing Granger leads him to jump off a bridge? 

To start, Granger appointed a dead man who shame to close his eyes to chair GECOM. He is sick, that's no excuse to delay the election, many others can do his job, but you see he specialize in Rigging, tuff to replace.

Did the Opposition not press the President for a time frame rather than leave it open ended until thy kingdom come for GECOM to be ready for election? This gives the APNU/AFC and its handpicked GECOM Chairman to set up their rigging machine. Don’t forget that Patterson can claim that he will be sick for a long time and no GECOM meetings can be held without him.

i am waiting to hear the Opposition Party response to their view of the meeting.

I am also curious to know why the DAG did not include Basil Williams to the meeting?

Gail Teixeira, Amna Ally to meet with GECOM on election readiness

Opposition PPP Leader Jagdeo flanked by his party executive members

He is said to highly favour Ali, while the Central Committee old guard has picked Anthony ahead of Nandlall.

 

 

 

So we will see who controls the PPP.   Jagdeo might find that Guyanese will be more comfortable with Anthony than with Irfaan.  I have never heard a bad word said about Anthony and there are others who seem to agree that he carries the least baggage of those who have some experience.

Anthony is getting more support by the local group.

Yesterday old man Patterson said that his doctor said he can work. The government told him to take some more time off. What Granger talking about?

Granger looking good in the video....why is he not looking straight at the camera???

But this is a good start...90 days for election preparation is not enough...I am sure a 2/3 support for an extension will be in order...

Specific issues ...

1. No-confidence passes in December 2018.

2. Election must be held within three months from that date.

3. It is not an open-ended process.

Now with the information from the meeting today, there are indications that considerations are given to Patterson's illness.

It is possible that as time progresses, there might be a legislative session to specifically extend the election date with the approval of the opposition party for a minimum of two-thirds of the MPs are needed.

There should not be any extension. Hoyted asked for a 2 year extension to get his polling list right. He was trying mightily to fix the game. These fellows will pad their votes if given time.

They probably accelerating the issuance of Guyana birth certificates to the Venos and Braz living in Guyana!  And who knows how many Hatians and Angolans!!

Trust me...they gon pad it whether the election is in 90 days or in 2 years...

The whole country had local elections only two months ago and Granger acting like GECOM isn't fully prepared to hold the general elections. Is he suggesting that GECOM did not conduct a real local elections or is he saying that old man Patterson isn't fit to do so. What happens if old man Patterson drop dead tomorrow, does GECOM come to a standstill?

yuh really believe we Guyanese are a hopeless ppl.

I remember saying back in 2015 before the elections that the PNC will return to their old wicked ways if they become the government. In less than four years, they prove how correct I was. Every day they are coming up with a new excuse. The trouble is when they run out of all excuses, they will resort to their trademark slo fiah mo fiah campaign.

PPP or PNC, absolute power corrupts absolutely.

Everyone I meet have good memories about "back home".

However, the history of this country does not offer much to hope for....the country is compared to Haiti and suffers a massive brain drain...its been a divided country since independence.

The hope was that the oil money will bring some hope....but its not going to happen unless politicians seriously address the racial problem...instead of ignoring it.

The history of the country has nothing to do with memories of one's childhood and family experiences. Even growing up there were apprehensions of lots of things wrong. Everyone spoke of the politics of the era and one saw the repression. 

BTW Lips think you are me...My regrets...she does not appear to be too bright.

That said, while the PPP had issues regarding some ballot recounts and challenged it in court, they did not anchor down in the government and wait for the case to be adjudicated. They surrender their governmental posts. That seems very difficult for the PNC to adopt.

The PNC are at a disadvantage of numbers and fear a perpetual PPP rule. Motivations for actions are self evident. The PPP has always been vile to black peopel so they are reluctant to be lorded over by them. As our society is about ethnic nepotism the know giving up the state as a prize to the PPP means their social, cultural and economic marginalization. One just has to look at the Biafra for a parallel. Igbos, similarly marginalized sought to secede.

Not withstanding that, the PNC does not have the right to illegally enforce their will just because they are at a disadvantage. They should have done the honorable thing and truly began the process for elections within 90 days from 12/21/2018. They had an opportunity to make their numbers advantageous but were too busy focusing on themselves. What the PPP did, they paid for with the loss in 2015. The ball is now in the PNC court and it seems like they are afraid to shoot it.
