Persons being paid by PPP/C to pose as APNU+AFC supporters and intimidate Indo-Guyanese
- PPP/C being rejected by majority of Guyanese

It has come to the attention of the APNU+AFC Coalition that there are persons who have been paid by the PPP/C to pose as APNU+AFC supporters and to intimidate Indo-Guyanese.

APNU+AFC forthrightly condemns this vile and utterly reprehensible tactic by the desperate PPP/C to engender ethnic mistrust amongst our people.
The APNU+AFC Coalition makes it clear that this provocation and intimidation is intended to benefit the PPP/C and the Coalition stands to derive no benefit whatsoever from it.

The Coalition will never engage in these gutter tactics, which are synonymous with the fear mongering and hate campaign being run by the PPP/C.

In addition in one isolated case, APNU+AFC condemns the acts of some supporters who have been over-exuberant in their rejection of the PPP/C during one of their public meetings. Over the years the PPP/C has neglected and marginalized their communities.

APNU+AFC further understands that some communities have been so marginalized and victimized by the PPP/C regime that the residents do not wish to be subjected to the vitriol and lies of the shamelessly partisan PPP/C campaign. The Coalition further believes that the PPP/C is very cognizant of this and is deliberately going into some of these communities, such as Warlock, to incite the residents and cause confrontation for cheap political mileage.

Nonetheless the PPP/C has been flatly rejected by the vast majority of Guyanese in this campaign and this will become pellucidly clear on May 11 when the ballots are counted. Finally the APNU+AFC thanks the people of Guyana for warmly welcoming the Coalition in every community we have visited.
