@Former Member...doh is wan likely but illigetimate outcome. remember who control de army control powah. Dem PNC vagabonds go string it along foh 5 year. Hey hey hey...dem PPP bais goh move to CCJ...hey hey hey. At least meh gat meh big cyar, big house and loud music...hey hey hey.
Balram Singh Rai deh know dis.
@Former Member PPP/C would have to prove that GECOM was compromised to stay the injunction to proceed further. A tall order to prove.
Gecom abandoned their responsibility. The verification process was not completed and they have refused to proceed thus far.
@Totaram, I also wonder why the police did not intervene when PPP/C operatives stormed through to see Madame Justice Claudette Singh.
I also wonder why PPP/C is requesting a recount of Region 4 votes if the statement of polls provided by the party was considered as final?
So many questions remain.
@Rochelle...a see yuh beating dem gurls at gaumont and st george...hey hey hey.
Are the SOPs final? Don't they have to be verified?
See below a full statement issued by Supriya Singh-Bodden, C.C.H., which was issued on the Facebook page of the Guyana Foundation.
Singh is the Founder/Trustee of Foundation. She was recently awarded one of Guyanaâs highest national honors â the Caciqueâs Crown of Honor (C.C.H.):
There Is No Winner if the Electoral process is flawed.
The present impasse with the recent elections process where stakeholders were unable to verify the results will have dire consequences for Guyana. There is no winner.
I personally and publicly endorsed Mr. David Granger at the 2015 General Elections. I was not involved in any way with the present elections or the APNU AFC government over their term in office.
It was my view then that they were committed to putting Guyana first to lead the country to prosperity and betterment for all. I proudly accepted one of Guyanaâs highest honors from him. Pledging to always serve my country.
I would like to use this platform to say now with absolute conviction that the recent events surrounding the electoral process are wrong.
The credibility of GECOM is seriously questioned, a cloud has descended over the organization. It is with great disappointment that Retired Justice Claudette Singh who is an inspiration to many with her career achievements, has let Guyana down with her silence.
It is an insult to the nation that the first direct utterance on the results of the recent elections was delivered by a APNU AFC party operative. The Chairperson of GECOM and David Granger owes it to the people to face them directly and truthfully to explain the present position, any other course of action is reckless.
If the APNU AFC or any other stakeholder has objections or suspicions about the process they must go through the legal channels to register their concerns.
I do not support or condone a situation where David Granger and his party wins and Guyana looses.
In the interest of all of the people of Guyana we are calling for an urgent move by all to be guided by the rule of law and nothing else. In so doing they will represent and protect the will of the people of Guyana.
This organization deals daily with the very poor people of Guyana.
We deal with people who are suffering with severe mental health challenges with suicide. We have been struggling to lift them up, give them hope that there will be a better future.
We would like to sound a serious warning that the present state of political mayhem does not make things easier. It will have far reaching negative effects deep into every village of Guyana.
The people of Guyana do not have the coping skills to live through more political turmoil.
If we know not to which port, we are sailing no wind is favorable, the only safe ship in a storm is Leadership. Is that too much to ask for?
There can be no way forward under the present conditions.
@Labba then Guyana entering into a doomsday scenario. Not wishing, just saying. Guyana will be ripped apart by forces outside their control.
I also wonder why PPP/C is requesting a recount of Region 4 votes if the statement of polls provided by the party was considered as final?
So many questions remain
There can be no recount if the count is NOT completed.
@Former Member, Coalition just playing games just as the did with the NCV. They know the truth but spinning.
I think they will prevail with some compromise initiated by the US.
WARNING TO ALL GUYANESE CITIZENS
Statement by the following Governments :
United States of America, UK, Canada, EU
6th March 2020
âWe call on President Granger to avoid a transition of government which we believe would be unconstitutional as it would be based on a vote tabulation process that lacked credibility and transparencyâ
The effects of SANCTIONS on Guyana should David Granger be sworn in -
1. Putting all oil revenues in an escrow account (Venezuela Part 2)
2. All donor assistance to finance projects will be suspended
3. Individuals sanctions including visa revocation, freezing of bank accounts may be imposed (Iran, Russia etc are examples)
4. Freezing of Guyana foreign reserves in international central banks could be imposed
5. With limited financial resources, essential and critical imports like drugs, food, spare parts would become a common place thing
6. Guyana could easily become another Venezuela
7. Increase in poverty, frustration and hopelessness could create more problems for the ordinary man
8. Of course, there will be more demonstrations and country will tear itself apart
9. Guyana could be expelled from major organizations including the Commonwealth, OAS, CARICOM to mention a few
10. Guyana will become a pariah state
PLEASE CIRCULATE TO ALL GUYANESE CITIZENS HOME AND ABROAD
MAY GOD BLESS GUYANA

Court hearing has resumed:
STATEMENT RE GUYANA ELECTIONS
by
Hon Mia Amor Mottley Q.C., M.P., Chairman of the Caribbean Community.
The Caribbean Community
calls on the electoral officials in Guyana and the representative political parties to work together to achieve a peaceful and lawful completion of the electoral process in Guyana by ensuring the tabulation of the results in all Regions using the Statement of Polls in a transparent manner in the presence of the representatives of the political parties and the electoral observers.
Indeed, CARICOM issued a statement on Thursday night and one was also issued yesterday from the Chief of the independent Caricom Electoral observation team. Both statements called on GECOM to complete the electoral process.
We are very clear, every vote must be made to count; and transparently so.
We have noted that all sides have been making serious allegations against each other.
It is critical that good sense prevail.The Preservation of law and order is paramount and All parties must work hard to ensure that there is peace on the roads and in the communities across Guyana. There has already been 1 death reported overnight. That is 1 death too many.
In simple language, we ask the parties to recognise that the primary consideration must not only be who will be President but, moreso, who will be alive come next week or next month, for there cannot be a tolerance for any further loss of life.
I have spoken to both the President and the Leader of the Opposition and indicated that CARICOM stands ready to be able to be there to facilitate further dialogue and any actions that are necessary.
We have done this on many occasions in the past, including in Guyana, when elections have been highly contentious and when social order and the rule of law has been threatened across the region.
We are family and this is what happens when they are disputes in families.
We will work together to create the space for dialogue and resolution once there is an acceptance of the part of all parties that there is a higher interest beyond simply the result in this election.

@Former Member, if its a compromise, they will.
@Dave now ayoo mekkin sense. Yuh gat to freeze de aile money in farrin account foh true...
Here is Harmon calling for verification of SOP in 2015 before a declaration
The U.S. Department of State has urged that no candidate be sworn in until issues are resolved surrounding the declaration of unverified results for the countryâs largest voting district.
âAt this juncture, preparations to install officials without resolving the serious issues identified in the vote counting process would create a climate of uncertainty for the citizens of Guyana, Guyanaâs international partners, and businesses looking to invest in Guyana,â said Ambassador Michael Kozak, Acting Assistant Secretary of State for Western Hemisphere Affairs of the U.S. Department of State.
Mr Mortimer Mingo, the Returning Officer for the Region Four Electoral District, on Thursday signed off on a declaration that put the APNU+AFC in the lead to take the seat of government, but the opposition say if a verification of the statements of poll are verified, it would show the PPP winning.
The opposition PPP and international and local observers want to see the verification process completed before any declaration of the overall results of the elections are made.
In a statement to the News Room, Kozak stated: âWe urge that no further results be announced and that no candidate take an oath of office until the vote count is complete and all questions have been resolved according to the process established under Guyanese law.â
According to Kozak, the Department of State is tracking the vote count after Guyanaâs March 2 elections, and we share the concerns expressed by OAS and other electoral observers about the credibility of the counting process,â
He said that a resolution of the issues in accordance in law is what will ensure the ability of the Guyanese people to choose their leadership. He noted that independent electoral observation missions are on the ground to verify that the votes are counted accurately and transparently.
