The news keep evolving in protest and court proceedings followed by statement around the world- it’s difficult to keep up . 

While the pressure is mounted locally and overseas, Granger and his people refuses to put Country first. 

If they are so confident of winning this election, why hold on to power illegally. He need to address his supporters and inform them to accept the results with a recount. I am afraid, his people will resort to violence.... all because he is afraid to tell them the truth.

PPPC finally was able to get it done, despite dodging by the recipients.

One now needs to see how issues develop, perhaps by the hour.

Guyanese in massive protest against threat to democracy

0

Huge crowds of people have gathered at various locations across the country in a civil protest against a decision by the Guyana Elections Commission (GECOM) to declare unverified results for the largest electoral district, Region Four (Demerara Mahaica).

Protest actions are ongoing at Herstelling, East Bank Demerara (EBD), as well as Lusignan, East Coast Demerara, and Bath  (West Coast Berbice).

INews understands that people are also picketing at Bee Hive, ECD.

Guyanese are calling for GECOM to follow the laws of the land, i.e. to have the results verified before declaration.

Already, the international community including members of the diplomatic corp. and foreign observers have labelled the process as lacking transparency and credibility.

The ABCE countries are also calling on President David Granger not to transition into a new government as it could be β€œunconstitutional”.

Stakeholders have already stated that Guyana’s democracy is being threatened and have called for international sanctions against APNU/AFC.

PRESS STATEMENT

The People’s Progressive Party (PPP) calls on all of our supporters to remain calm and act in a peaceful manner during this period.
While we understand the hurt, frustration and fear about electoral fraud being perpetuated against the Guyanese people, we have the solidarity of the international community.
Today alone, March 6, 2020, statements have emanated from: the diplomatic community in Guyana; the international election observer missions; the US State Department; the representatives of the United States of America (USA) Congress; British Parliamentarian, Barry Gardiner; The Elder, an international NGO founded by Nelson Mandela, and other international organizations, as well as local stakeholders.
They have all made it clear that as it stands results of the Elections cannot be β€œcredibly declared” and there can be no swearing in of a president since such an action would be illegal.

The PPP agrees with the international community; there can be no swearing in of a new president under the current circumstances. The Party wishes to also warn that public officers, especially constitutional office holders, facilitating such an illegal action would be complicit in the perpetuation of electoral fraud in Guyana.

The Party also agrees with the international community that there 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. This is the only process that will deliver free and fair elections and ensure that the will of the Guyanese people is not subverted. The People’s Progressive Party continues to work towards this objective.
The PPP urges our supporters to ensure that none of their actions are in contradiction with the laws of Guyana; stay home and await further guidance from the Party.

People’s Progressive Party

PNC has triggered a Guyana Spring uprising!

The people are emboldened because of the presence of the international community and the prolific social media exposure beamed globally. Police and GDF brutality cannot escape the soft power of the bits and bytes!  Volda cussing has been beamed globally!

PNC.....welcome to the New Jerusalem!  You will fail!
