No, file a petition and the court will give due process!
This is one of the most perfect example that explains African Leadership Division in Politics.
Listen to this folks.

Oh No. his duty âwas to summarize the various Observation Reports and to aggregate the totals in the Matrices.â The law does not give him the ability to advise. He is totally out of line. He is a shameless rigger.

This was planned. GECOM specifically gave different instructions on poll books etc in Indian areas in event of a narrow loss. Mingo would rig, it would go to a recount or they declare granger and it goes to a petition. These missing documents would be used to cast doubts and PNC remains.
They never expected such a massive loss which now complicateS their plans. Furthermore, the reaction from the international community must have surprised them.

Everyone can have an opinion, but he cannot advise the Commissioners and Chair Lady, otherwise they serve no purpose.

Under ARTICLE 177 of the Constitution of Guyana, the declaration must be made by the Chairman of the Commission acting on the advice of the Chief Elections Officer which advice has to be submitted to the members of the Commission.
Advice is not synonymous with regurgitation of numbers. Separately, the recount process was an AUDIT, not a tally of votes alone.
Please be on the right sight of this momentous time in Guyana's history.

He was not tasked with giving advice. He was tasked to give a SUMMARY OF THE OBSERVATION REPORT and TOTAL UP THE NUMBERS FOR EACH REGION. No one asked him for advice or opinion. If the PNC had numbers in their favor, he would have been dancing on the ceiling.

Am not a PPP nor Coalition supporter. The recount shows the PPP with majority. Can Claudette choose to ignore his advise and declare the PPP as the winner and let the courts deal with the discrepancies by way of Petitions?

Quite honestly, I do not think she can ignore the CEOs report.
She can only declare on fair and credible election results. The CEO of the independent body she purports to represent has deemed the the election results' fairness and credibility cannot be ascertained. I suspect the Commissioners will be divided on this, further proving that the Chairwoman cannot declare results in favor of any one party.
I also suspect the Guyanese people will be going back to the polls, but this time, under a sanitized electoral process.
I am happy everything that transpired has occurred. No more rigging should ever be allowed in future elections.

This is probably the most lengthy and complicated election the world has ever seen. Everyone is sick and tired of the games; everyone wants a fast resolution. Whenever it's all over, whichever party wins, I'm giving rum, cookup rice, jerk chicken, beef curry, duck curry and dhall puri to everyone on this site!

Hey hey hey, Labba.
I suspect part of the sanitation will include revamping GECOM in its entirety, and that would likely include the removal of Lowenfield.
I also believe a digital/electronic electoral process should be instituted. Either way, both parties, both Indo- and Afro-Guyanese, will have to come together on this. All alleged riggers and instigators should be removed from the process.
This is actually a great thing for our beloved Guyana.

Madam, that was no audit. Besides, any audit would need to be independent to be credible.
So folks, APNU/AFC claims the number of rejected ballots are indicative of "numerous" anomalies that make the results incredulous.
2015: out of 419, 970 votes cast, 4000 were rejected ballots and 415,970 were counted as valid votes = 0.961% rejected ballots.
2020: out of 464, 565 ballots cast, 4213 were rejected ballots 460,352 were counted as valid votes = 0.915% rejected ballots. So more ballots were rejected in 2015 and Granger assumed office. This is the last ride of our democracy.
The Chairman will cast aside the opinion of Lowenfield. He tried to put her on the spot and cast doubt on her integrity.
A NEW AND UNITED GUYANA (ANUG) RELEASES PRESS STATEMENT
On 2nd March, 2020 Guyanese cast their votes to choose the government to take Guyana forward in the next electoral cycle. The election was conducted in a fair and orderly manner by the electorate. The count of ballots by the Presiding Officers at Places of Poll was done in the presence of Gecom officials, international and local observers, and representatives of the two large political parties, the APNU and the PPP. Their Statements of Poll were distributed to the party representatives, and sent by Gecom to the Regional Officers for each region. In each region except Region 4, the Regional Officers assessed the SOPâs and declared the results of the elections for their regions. The result was that PPP enjoyed a lead in excess of 50,000 votes before the SOPâs for region 4 were assessed. APNU required 50,000 votes to win in region 4 in order to win the election. APNU has never won region 4 by such a large margin before.
The Regional Officer for region 4 fraudulently assessed the SOPâs and declared a win for APNU by over 60,000 votes. David Granger, Basil Williams, David Patterson, Kathy Hughes and most APNU officials dismissed PPP assertions of fraud, and claimed a victory on the count of the SOPâs by Mingo. They began to celebrate their âvictoryâ. Granger declared to his followers that âThe APNU have won the electionâ.
Then litigation resulted in a recount of the ballots. In that recount, the nation learned that Mingo had lied, that Granger had lied, that Williams, Patterson, Hughes and the entire contingent of the APNU leadership had lied. On the count of the ballots, PPP leads the APNU by 15,000 votes. APNU supporters have had to swallow the undeniable: that their leaders have lied to them, have deceived them.
Now, APNU has created a new lie. With the complicity of the rogue elements in the Gecom secretariat, APNU has told the Guyanese people that there were so many anomalies in the conduct of the previously fair and credible electoral process that the election must be annulled. In order to create this new deception, APNU with the complicity of the rogue Gecom secretariat evolved a five stage plan:
During the recount of the ballot box from each place of poll, APNU agents âallegedâ that a number of the voters from that box represented either deceased or overseas individuals. APNU gave no evidence of this, but stated that evidence would be presented at a later, unspecified date;
The Gecom official dutifully recorded on the now infamous Observation Sheet that an Allegation was made by APNU that specified voters were dead or overseas;
The Gecom official with equal consistency refused to record on the Observation Sheet the observation by any other party that no evidence was presented, that the allegation was a bare and unsubstantiated statement by a person who had no knowledge of the truth of his allegation, that Gecomâs own record showed that the individuals have appeared and shown their ID cards and been scrutinized by PPP and APNU reps and Gecom officials before being permitted to vote, and recorded only that the opposition parties âobject to the allegationâ;
The Gecom official also refused to permit any Opposition party or observer to look at the List of Electors from the box to verify whether the named individuals had in fact voted, so that that question remains unknown.
In the meanwhile, APNU would promote the narrative that the election which had given them a victory with the Mingo Count was now not credible.
The fifth and final stage of the plan involved the Chief Executive Officer of this rogue Secretariat, Keith Lowenfield, who had been directed by Gecom to prepare a report showing a tabulation of the recount, and a summary of the Observation Sheets, would seek to lend credence to the nonsensical âallegationsâ in that report. The words âtabulationâ and âsummaryâ are not ambiguous. The former means in this context to add up. Lowenfield has added up the recount and the result as the whole country has known for three months is that PPP won the election by 15,000 votes, and that Mingo was guilty of fraud, and that APNU lied to the nation and to its supporters.
But Lowenfield has not provided a summary of the Observation Sheets. A summary is a condensation, an abridgement. Lowenfield has taken it upon himself to decide that the unproven and unsubstantiated bare allegations of dead and overseas voters recorded by complicit Gecom officials on the say so of APNU representatives are evidence that the allegations are true. He has concluded that the allegations âwere of substanceâ. Lowenfield concludes all by himself as if he were Gecom and not simply a functionary within the Secretariat that âit cannot be ascertained that the resultsâĶ meet the standard of fair and credible electionsâ.
Gecomâs has replaced Mingoâs false spreadsheets with Lowenfieldâs equally false opinions and conclusions in submitting a âreportâ to the Commission.
It now remains for the Chairman, Ms. Singh, to decide how to treat this report. As a legal mind, she will know immediately that Lowenfield has exceeded his remit. She will also know that he has relied on unsubstantiated âallegationsâ. She will know that any reference to information from third parties such as Immigration Chief and Registry records will be impermissible, since that information is external to Gecom, is untested by cross examination, is unverified by anyone, and can only be raised in an Election Petition, but may not be referenced lawfully by Gecom.
Of course the three APNU members of Gecom will try to pretend that Lowenfieldâs opinion carries some sort of weight. Of course the three PPP members of Gecom will disagree, and their votes will cancel out each other, and the decision will rest solely with Claudette Singh. The correct and lawful course of action is clear â only one party has won the elections, and the recount has unambiguously identified that party. The country waits.
