I was just at a West Indian store. Several Afro Guyanese were in celebratory mood over the victory and end of the PPP.
@Baseman You should have told them that PPP won the election, the majority of Guyana and all the foreign Observers declared the PPP as the New Government. Don't be afraid, you are in America, you can kick their ass.
Not surprised. Many AfroGuyanese regardless of status, education lever ARE RACIST to dah bone. They have no regard or lack the capacity for fairness, right, good, decent and Democratic when the PPP is at the receiving end of victimization. AS soon as the table turn, they suddenly know about Democracy, decency, right and so on. Base , do not take my word do the research. It is hard to find a group anyway on this planet more openly RACIST!!

International ambassadors, representatives plus the accredited foreign personnel for the election are unanimous in their views; the tabulation for Region 4 is inconsistent with the legitimate process of the laws.

Dr Jagdeo spoke like a true leader spreading calm to the nation. At a time of uncertainty the country is looking for leadership while Granger and Harmon spreading division and hate.
Coalition consist of several parties, will it is hijacked by the PNC I don't see any other RACE defending these losers, where are Naga and Rumjaat perhaps they should address the nation on behalf of the PNC but they are ashamed and are kicked to the curb.

Highlight of the Statement from St. Vincent and the Grenadines ...
[[[Quote]]]
"It has been a hallmark of our democratic CARICOM that each vote be counted and that such counting be done transparently and in the presence of all competing political parties and accredited independent observers. Anything short of this will inevitably cast doubt on the results."

Donât swear in a new president under the present vote count â US, UK, Canada, EU Heads
Mar 07, 2020 News 0 Comments
The Heads of Mission of the Embassy of the United States of America, Sarah-Ann Lynch, the British High Commission, Greg Quinn, the Canadian High Commission, Lilian Chatterjee, and the Delegation of the European Union, Fernando Ponz-Canto, express deep concern over credible allegations of electoral fraud which may influence the results of this election.
British High Commissioner Greg Quinn
US Ambassador: Sarah Ann Lynch
In a statement released to the press, the four diplomats called on all to ensure proper procedures are in place to yield a credible election result.
âA fair and free process is vital for the maintenance and reinforcement of democracy in Guyana.
The ABCE diplomats therefore called on President David 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 transparency.Meanwhile the United Nations, (UN) resident Coordinator, Mikiko Tanaka, issued a statement, which concerns the latest developments in Guyana.

Tanaka said that UN takes note of the statements issued by international observers and Ambassadors accredited in Georgetown raising concerns regarding lack of compliance with national legal procedures and the need to resume the tabulation of results for Region Four.
âWe encourage the relevant Guyanese authorities to finalise the process in a manner which leaves no doubts as to the credibility of the results that reflect the will of the Guyanese people.â
Further the United Nations calls upon all sides to act with calm, patience and in full respect of human rights, the rule of law and Guyanaâs constitutional order.

The United States Government is adding more pressure on the Guyana Elections Commission (GECOM), noting that any Government which is sworn in on the basis of unverified votes in Region Four will be illegitimate.
The US Government continues to maintain that vote tabulation marred Guyanaâs March 2 general and regional elections.
âThe people of #Guyana deserve a credible election and transfer of power that reflects their will.
âVote tabulation irregularities marred #Guyanaâs March 2 elections. Our Ambassador and many observers saw flawed tabulation. Irrespective of todayâs legal proceedings, any government sworn in on the basis of that result would not be legitimate,â tweeted Ambassador Michael Kozak, Acting Assistant Secretary of State for Western Hemisphere Affairs of the U.S. Department of State.
This is the second public pronouncement from Ambassador Kozak following the allegations of electoral fraud at GECOM.
On March 6, he urged that no candidate is 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 Ambassador Kozak had said.
Mr Clairmont 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 says if 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.

The Guyanese opposition is seeking an injunction to declare this monthâs presidential election invalid, amid violence on Friday night in which the police shot dead a protester.
President David Granger was declared the winner of the March 2 election. The U.S. and its allies cast doubt on the vote count in a key district and said they âquestion the credibilityâ of the results produced by the electoral authority, which showed a win for the ruling party in the area
âLike the rest of the international community, we will not recognize the government if itâs sworn in,â said Bharrat Jagdeo, a leader of the opposition Peopleâs Progressive Party. The party has filed an injunction against the nationâs Elections Commission and has demanded a full count, he said.
Attention to the small South American country has risen after a huge off-shore oil discovery became one of the biggest bets for Exxon Mobil Corp. Guyanaâs crude production surged last year, causing the nationâs gross domestic product to grow at the fastest pace in the world
The election has brought unrest among citizens demanding transparency into the vote count amid hopes, and promises from Granger, that the massive oil deposits would alleviate the nationâs poverty.
The oil industry was a central issue in the election. For Exxon, Guyana has gone from a nice-to-have discovery to one thatâs critical to the companyâs future cash flows and dividends.
âExceptionally Badâ
A Global Witness report criticized Grangerâs government for signing an âexceptionally badâ contract with Exxon that deprives the country of $55 billion over the life of the deal. The opposition Peopleâs Progressive Party candidate, Irfan Ali, has pledged to renegotiate oil contracts.
The oil project offers some of the highest returns in the industry at a time when Exxon is struggling to generate cash and grappling with climate change. Shares of the oil giant have fallen more than 30% this year.
The protester was killed after officers were attacked, authorities said in a statement Saturday.
âWeâre a police state now,â Jagdeo said in an interview. âProtesters came out, seven were shot and one killed. Just when weâre approaching a future that can be clearly defined with oil and gas weâll be in serious trouble.â
