PNC supporters awaiting a decision from the court. Hoyte would call the decision from the court, after Chief Justiced dismissed the election petition brought by (PNC supporter) private citizen, Veronica Delph, "flawed and insupportable." It only led to more violence on the streets.

The end of elections brings the start of violence. Many buildings were burned down in "mystery fires." An example occurred on March 21 when the home of Ms. Devika Persaud on Peter Street, Annandale, burned down, leaving her and her two daughters, Nazir, 7, and Nazeela, 11, homeless at the time. The Ministry of Works building (see photo) and the MMA building up the East Coast were also targeted.
In the meantime, the media is filled with what Stabroek News (SN) in an editorail called "Preachers of Hate." Here is an extract; "Consistently advocating hatred on television for one ethnic group on the basis that some of its members are personally biased against the other group, some are well off (the majority are not) and some indulge in discriminatory employment practices is by any reckoning an extremely dangerous practice, and is bound to lead to serious trouble. Indeed, it has in the opinion of many experienced observers already done so by contributing to the extreme hostility shown since the March election and a continuation can only make things worse." (see March 22, 2001 SN editorial)
