This is exactly what the PNC wants. This injunction would further delay the announcement of the results. It's a damn if you do damn if you don't situation.

@Dave, thanks for the video posted about an hour ago, Sheer lawlessness there and looks as if a fight might break out any moment

REPRESENTATION OF THE PEOPLE ACT

Guyana Election law, 1964

An Act to make provision for the election of members of the National Assembly under a system of Proportional Representation and for purposes connected therewith.

(25TH, SEPTEMBER, 1964)

Guyana Election law, 1964

84.

1. Subject to the provisions of this Act, the votes cast at the polling places in each district shall be counted by the returning officer of that district in accordance with the provisions of this Part.

2. If the Chief Election Officer is satisfied that it is necessary or expedient in the interests of the carrying out of the provisions of this Part with due despatch or security he may, by notice published in the Gazette, direct that for the purposes of the counting of the votes the returning officers of districts specified in the notice shall count the votes for their respective districts at a place appointed by the said notice and this Act shall have effect accordingly.

3. Where the Chief Election Officer has given a direction pursuant to subsection (29)

   a. he may designate one of the returning officers of the districts specified in the notice to exercise general direction and supervision over the counting of votes at the place so appointed;

  b. references in this Part to election officers, duly appointed candidates and counting agents shall have effect as if they included references to such persons appointed in respect of any of the districts in respect of which the direction applies.

86

1. No person shall be present at the counting of the votes except-

  a. the returning officer and such other election officers as he may appoint to assist him in the counting.

  b. the Minister, members of the Commission and members of any team of observers appointed by the minister;

  c. duly appointed candidates;

  d. counting agents;

  e. such other persons as, in the opinion of the returning officer, have good reason to be present.

6. The returning officer shall give the counting agents all such reasonable facilities for overseeing the proceedings and all such information with respect thereto as he can give them consistent with the orderly conduct of the proceedings and with the discharge of his duties in connection therewith.

This act was passed while the PPP was the government in 1964 shortly before the PNC with the help of the UF became the government. Unfortunately for all the years that the PNC have been legally or illegally in government, they have never abided by it and they are again violating it. Sad.

@Dem_guy , with all the Rukus and breaches of  the counting area , doesn't seem like the Law applies .Which Minister appoints the Observer team ? me thinks GECOM invites the observer teams.

Interestingly when this act was passed, no one could have ever guessed how despotic the PNC can be. Although we had an indication from their behavior in 1962 and 1963.

Django that parade took place.  

GECOM is a joke..seems made up of PNC hacks

Well when Ali gets in. Let's see what they will do with GECOM. Will not surprise me if little changes are made between now the next Elections 

Ray, the socalled Judge Singh is the Chairwoman. Clown like her are going Dime a dozen. What a Shameless PRICK she is!!!

Singh had no trouble nullifying the 1997 elections but suddenly she can’t even run an elections operation.

Django ...

International and national observers are approved by the Government to be present during the proceedings.

Guyana Law states that this is done by the Minister of the Government.

Most likely like others, you have read the articles where the Minister of the Government made statements to have observers removed from the place.

Also you may read in the news outlets where the Minister of Foreign Affairs threatened to revoke accreditation for international observers.

@Amral And just when is it that Ali will get in?  Official results were released by GECOM showing the Coalition won.  We now have both sides claiming victory.  In a few days the foreign press and observers will leave Guyana and we'll be back to a protracted battle between the two parties: Supreme Court, Appeals Court, CCJ etc.  

here we go again....sad day for Guyana

What else yuh expect Ray. Guyana is cursed to have the PNC be a scourge on it.

As the PPP is otherwise engaged I ask you to take a moment to remember my comrade Cheddi Jagan on his death anniversary.  May his soul rest in peace.

I think we are back to the old days now guys, slow fiah moh fiah

Bai Amral that is how the PNC roll.

Amral ---

GECOM needs radial changes which Surujbally and Patterson did not do while they were the Chairmen for close to 20 years --- Surujbally for 16 years and Patterson for about 3 years.

Hopefully, should matters develop that the PPPC becomes the government, those needed changes/improvements should be one of the number of issues to be addressed.

At first sitting of parliament, Shuman should bring the government down in an NCV. I think they have a seat.

@Totaram how did GECOM declare the results when 400+ boxes remained unopened and not verified against the SOP?

I hope they have a seat

@Former Member which government. APNU stealing the majority 

Unlikely that Shuman may get a seat even if the other smaller parties joined their votes together; a process that is allowed under Guyana laws.

@Former Member I heard Anil Nandlall say that a man shouted it from the second floor of a building, seriously, I am not making it up.  Apparently that is all the RO had to do .  

ONLY IN A INHUMAN, BARBARIC AND UNCIVILIZED GUYANA!!!!!!!!!!

They holding Claudette Singh hostage? I join late.

@ Base, the verification is not about opening the box, counting the ballots and verifying it against the numbers on the SOP. It is about ensuring that the SOP that GECOM has has the correct info as checked against those given to party agents at the polling stations. Tge PPP placed on the internet copies of all the SOP for Region 4 so that all can see for themselves.

Zed i join lil late. Are u buying this story that the APNU has indeed won?

These asses trying all kind of juvenile routines.  In the end they will have to go, I don’t see this as a well orchestrated plan.

@ Sheik I do not believe that they have the number of votes they claim to have in Region 4, verify using the SOP which the PPP has published on the web. Coalition cannot show sop to verify their numbers. Also, Jonas of ANUG, someone I really trust said that the PPP has won and Granger is lying to his people. All the parties and the observers have copies of the sop for region 4 so know that the coalition has lost and GECOM is rigging for the coalition.

The above video is still streaming live. 

Media barred from entering the building 

someone should take his ass out

God will

and yall thought Hoyte and Corbin were bad
