@Sean ,don't count on it , i can be back. Regarding the statement it's FAKE , private statements are not publicized, you should know that.
@Django, it's as fake as you being real!
DJ, Iâm not denying that. I am calling out for your unjust behaviour in deleting members free speech. You need to learn to respect it, itâs a sacred right in democracies.
What are deemed free speech on the forum is like a bunch of toddlers chatting away. Sometimes i can't believe you all resides in first world country ,it's more like ghetto behavior.
Did you guys notice that since the PPP won the elections, hoopla doesn't read unsecure anymore like it used to? Long live the PPP. Long live President Ali.

Sean...welcome back...now, behave yourself
Trump still sucks
@ Billy ,perhaps you were enjoying the hooliganism at the GECOM building. The fearless leader quiet as a mouse ,while the pit bulls was let loose.
I don't think so bai. My Antivirus is very reliable. I think you are still seeing the unsecure sign because you haven't yet accepted Ali as Guyana's President Elect.
Bai, the commotion at the RO office was a direct effect of the CO introducing a spreadsheet which she accessed from a flash drive that did not bear the votes casted in the March 2, 2020 elections. That commotion was heroic because it prevented the PNC led Coalition from denying the electorate their voice.
@Kaz ,i don't use windows and don't need antivirus. The security shows up due the images on page.
PNC just hired a PR firm to influence US policy They also want to initiate audits of SOPs of certain regions. My understanding, only PPP and Coalition had reps at all polling stations. So what are the challenging, themselves? Also, nine regions have been verified. So, are the planning to take back what they agreed to? This is even more stupid than the 33/34 argument!
@ Kaz ,spreadsheet was used all the time to tabulate the SOPS ,the election is close and BJ knows that hence the commotion . I have noticed loud mouth Edgehill missing ,ayuh know where he is ?
People have no shame. The world witnessed what went on and yet they behaving like Shaggy!

Bai, that too technical for me. I know it used to be there when I enquired about it some time back but over the past week, I observed that it is now gone.
@Baseman ,skulduggery in Region 3 ,can't say nothing here.
Banna, you are shameless. Then verify Region 4!

So why was it verified by all parties?

Ayuh stop the count ,read the article from Stabroek News ,after the margin of win from 400 boxes .
What's up the shameless ,vocabulary.
Recount requested for Region 3.
PRESS STATEMENT
The statement made by the APNU+AFC Coalitionâs David Granger is unsurprisingly typical of what Guyanese have come to expect from him â claims about upholding the rule of law, when the Judiciary has found him in violation of the Constitution and laws more times than any other President in the history of Guyana; and attempts to cast blame on the Peopleâs Progressive Party (PPP).
The PPP wishes to stress that this is one time Mr. Granger will not be able to escape accountability. The events of last week occurred in full view of Guyanese; members of the diplomatic community; and international observers from the European Union, the Commonwealth, Organization of American States, CARICOM and the Carter Center.
It was Mr. Granger who embraced a fraudulent declaration from the Region 4 Returning Officer. It was Mr. Granger who claimed victory even before the Guyana Elections Commission (GECOM) made a final declaration. It was Mr. Granger who was in a haste to have himself sworn in as President.
Thankfully, social media, the vigilance of political parties and the presence of local and international observers, as well as members of the local diplomatic corps, made clear the facts of what took place at the GECOM Command Center, on High and Hadfield Streets. No attempt by Mr. Granger to whitewash what occurred will succeed.
While, Mr. Granger tries to cast blame on the PPP for what he calls an âinterruptionâ of GECOMâs work, the fact of the matter is that the verification process was running smoothly and hundreds of Statements of Poll were verified, before a spreadsheet, with substantial variations in favour of the Coalition, was introduced into the process.
What Mr. Granger calls an interruption of the work of GECOM was, in fact, vociferous protests by all the political parties - all of which called for the use of the spreadsheet to be discontinued and for there to be a return to verification of results for Region 4 using the Statements of Poll, as is required by law. It is public knowledge that the Chief Elections Officer, only after vocal protests, assured all the political parties â in the presence of the international observers and members of the diplomatic corps â that the verification process would recommence and be completed, in accordance with the law, using the Statements of Poll. The process recommenced and was going well, until the Chair of GECOM stopped it on the basis of âcompassionateâ grounds for GECOM staffers. It is also public knowledge that within hours thereafter, without resuming the verification process, a fraudulent declaration was made by the Region 4 Returning Officer.
The only party guilty of a falsification of reality is the one Mr. Granger leads.
Instead of peddling rhetoric, Mr. Granger should answer the Guyanese people on a few critical questions:
1. Why is the signature of Volda Lawrence, the Chairperson of his party, the PNCR, affixed to the declaration of the Region 4 Returning Officer, when the declarations of the other 9 Regions only have the stamp and signature of the Returning Officers of those areas?
2. Why was Amna Ally, the General Secretary of his party, the PNCR, visiting the GECOM Chairperson at her home, when the Chair is unavailable to her international advisors, members of the international election observer missions and the political parties?
3. Why was the GECOM lawyer, Neil Boston, being openly assisted by Roysdale Forde and Darren Wade, two APNU+AFC candidates?
4. Why was the Region 4 Returning Officer, Clairmont Mingo, after he made the fraudulent declaration, escorted from the GECOM Command Center by six ranks of the Guyana Police Force, and has not been seen or available to any stakeholders in the electoral process, since?
5. Why did his former Foreign Affairs Minister, Karen Cummings, threaten to revoke the accreditation of members of the international Election Observer Missions?
6. Why are his other former Ministers, Cathy Hughes and others, peddling falsehoods about Russians hacking into our electoral system, when that system is a manual system?
7. Why the fear about returning to verification of the election results Statement of Poll by Statement of Poll, and/or a recount, if there is such confidence in an electoral victory?
Why should, we the people of Guyana, believe Granger and his cronies when the world â the international election observers, individual countries, all the political parties, among other stakeholders â have said that the declaration of results for Region 4 is fraudulent? Why are Mr. Granger and his cronies the only ones standing on the other side? Who should be believed?
The Peopleâs Progressive Party maintains that there be must a return to the process of verifying the results of the March 2, 2020 General and Regional Elections for Region 4, using the Statements of Polls, as required by law, and/or a recount of the ballots cast. This is the only process that will deliver free and fair elections and ensure that the will of the Guyanese people is not subverted.

Go ahead. Then Region 4! Square Deal?
Attachments
Bai Django, spreadsheets were not used in the other nine regions and it was not being used in region 4 for the first three hundred and something SOPs. I think you are twisting the circumstances. It wasn't Jagdeo who was nervous about the direction of the votes, it was Mingo hence his sudden illness followed by the CO's shenanigans and the other person suddenly was tired. Then suddenly Mingo went missing along with Lowenfield and Singh. Then this showed up. Vulga Vulva's signature on the official GECOM form. Is she a GECOM official?
Attachments
David Granger is either a liar or is deluding himself ... he has breached the Constitution and Laws of Guyana many times and the CCJ has ruled that he did. How can he still come and say that he has acted in accordance with the Constitution and Laws of Guyana at all times?
Attachments
Bai Django, why would the PPP stop a count they are still before the court to get completed? Don't start talking like Trump's people about alternative facts now bai.
@ Kaz ,Volda Lawrence is the counting agent for Region 4.
I gone ,every time there is a conversation ,other stuff interjects ,so there can't be a smooth flow to air one views.
So far APNU got regions 5 and 6 recounted. Now they want to recount region 3. But strangely, they don't even want to complete region count. Tells a lot when APNU is worried about the result in the region that they have their largest margin of victory outside of region 10.

FORM 24 IS A GECOM PROPERTY - SINCE WHEN VOLDA WORKING AT GECOM.
The other 9 Region had only RO signature and no one else. only Region 4 forms had a add signature. Where did this form came from and why did you and your COHORTS refused a verification for region 4--- why was it stop.
Run Run like a coward

I have just been informed from a very reliable source that Mr. Timothy Jonas, Mr. Lenox Shuman and myself have become the subjects of surveillance by the Special Branch of the Guyana Police Force.
Don't they have anything else better to do?
Look how trigger happy these officers are people were just standing and walking and they opened fire without a care even went through the streets
Are you for real, ayo have no shame. The verification of the votes for Region 4 was stop by your people .. why? If APNU was confident of winning the election, then they will continue the process of verification. PPP is on record as saying, what ever results the verification shows they will respect.
Why should we have a court challenge to produce the result?

Here is my take. My theory of what happened.
APNU/AFC was of the honest view that with the count of Regions 1-9, the PPPC would not have had enough lead to overtake the lead APNU/AFC would have in Region 4. This started out as their honest opinion. They thought that the people loved them so much and they would increase their votes substantially compared to 2015 Elections.
Gecom therefore went along merrily to count Regions 1-9 perfectly and then realised PPPC had obtained 52,000 votes in the lead. This lead was highly unexpected. It shocked them.
Upon checking their SOPs, APNU/AFC realised that they could not overtake the PPPC lead of 52,000.
APNU/AFC, as they were checking Region 4 results in presence of the Observers, realised that they had instead lost ground in Region 4 as people did not vote for them in the volume as they thought and the lead of the PPPC could not be overtaken. They checked their SOPs and that also confirmed they could not overtake PPPC lead.
They therefore had to live with the fact that Regions 1-9 were already counted in the presence of the Observers and showed PPPC had 52,000 votes in the lead. They could not now change that lead. So they had to activate PLAN B in collusion and connivance with GECOM.
PLAN B
So how do they remain in government when there was an obvious defeat? They with the collusion of Gecom, stopped the verification process, chased out the Observers, got the RO to fudge/ invent the numbers and declare the winner.
That's my theory. Maybe it was different. But whatever theory it is, the intent was to retain power at all costs even by fraud.
You know they planned but GOD is the best of planners
AND SO I REST MY CASE AND YOU BE THE JUDGE.
Sahadatâs theory is spot on. That is exactly what happened.
