Indeed, Granger and his band of riggers are living in a fool's world. They will pay dearly for their foolishness with fierce resistance.
@Former Member posted:Statement by PPP/C Leader
Any refusal of Granger to leave office after declaration will be resisted â Jagdeo
Amid continuing signs that APNU+AFC will not accept a declaration by GECOM of the results based on the national recount, PPP General Secretary Bharrat Jagdeo today said that President David Granger and the riggers supporting him are living in a foolâs world if they believe they will get away with that.
A statement issued by Jagdeo today follows:
STATEMENT BY DR. BHARRAT JAGDEO
In a statement issued yesterday the APNU+AFC said that it will not be accepting any declaration based on the figures derived from the National Recount.
This is in clear defiance of the international community, the Chief Justice, the CCJ and GECOM who have all been clear that any declaration has to be made on the basis of the figures from the recount, and also in contrast to earlier statements by President Granger that he will accept any declaration made by GECOM.
No one should be surprised as the PNC which Granger leads and which is essentially the APNU+AFC, has a history of not accepting the results of every election that they have lost since 1992.
What we have to do now is to work to ensure that we have a declaration that is reflective of the will of the people and only one that is derived from the figures generated by the national recount can produce such an outcome.
If Granger and his band of riggers believe that they can continue to hang on to office after the declaration has been made then they are living in a foolâs world. If the international community was prepared to condemn and levy sanctions against people who are trying to undermine democracy, even before the declaration, just imagine the consequences the riggers will face if they refuse to leave office after the declaration â essentially staging a coup dâetat. Needless to say, such a move will be met by fierce resistance by the PPP and other forces fighting for democracy.
I therefore urge Guyanese at this stage not to be too concerned about whether they will accept the declaration or not as we will cross that bridge when we get there. The consequences for Granger and the APNU+AFC at that time will be as alluded to by Secretary General of the OAS, Luis Almagro: âDemocracy or Abyss?â
Statement issued yesterday by A Partnership for National Unity + Alliance for Change (APNU+AFC) on the political situation in Guyana
General and Regional Elections were held on 2nd March 2020 in the Co-operative Republic of Guyana. The results of those elections had not been declared by Monday 20th July, twenty weeks afterwards.
Delays in the declaration of results were caused, in part, by several appeals which were made during this period â to the Supreme Court of Judicature, the Court of Appeal of Guyana and the Caribbean Court of Justice â to provide interpretations of electoral and other laws and to resolve problems arising from the elections. The people of Guyana await a credible âDeclarationâ by the Guyana Elections Commission.
A Partnership for National Unity + Alliance For Change (APNU+AFC Coalition) is committed to a lawful and credible declaration of results based on valid votes. The Coalition has taken note of the ruling of Chief Justice Roxane George on 20th July 2020 in the case of Mesinga Jones v Guyana Elections Commission Chairman et al.
The APNU+AFC Coalition, as always, remains committed to the judicial process. That process is incomplete as it stands and the matter has been appealed in the Guyana Court of Appeal. Such an appeal is lawful, proper and guaranteed under the Constitution of the Cooperative Republic of Guyana, our supreme law. The Coalition will await the outcome of the appeal.
The APNU+AFC Coalition is resolved to ensure that fraudulent votes, cannot be factored in to represent the will of the electorate. Any attempt to include fraudulent votes in a âDeclarationâ will constitute a violation of the Constitution and the fundamental principles of democracy. We maintain that the Elections Commission can only make a âDeclarationâ based on valid votes.
The recount process which was conducted, painstakingly, for thirty-three days revealed massive irregularities and extensive fraud which cannot be foisted on the Guyanese people to contrive an outcome that betrays the will of the electorate.
The APNU+AFC Coalition, in the national interest, and with a view to maintaining stability and peace, remains open to dialogue with other political parties and stakeholders on the way forward for our country. The APNU+AFC Coalition is prepared to act responsibly to bring a resolution to the ongoing political situation.
We implore all Guyanese to remain calm and peaceful as we await a credible and legitimate outcome.
Risking East Indian poor people lives to rule Africans ,who racially hate you and do not want to be ruled by you, is not the right approach. We must rule our own people. The peaceful struggle for our own independent sovereign country for East Indians of Guyana, Douglas who love their East Indian heritage and the allies of the East Indian people of Guyana regardless of race or religion is the only workable solution.
Yuh think Blacks are going to allow Jagdeo and Ali to govern them? They are telling the whole world, "it is not going to happen."
Guyana is not a democratic country, so elections do not dictate. The PPP do not have elections, it is decreed by the strongman. If democracy and respect for all the guyanese ppl does not matter then why respect the votes.
Seig, I like President Jagdeo. The People need a strong leader.

Bad for Guyana ,there are better in the party.
I know most of these people in the party. The majority are jaganite yes people. They appear to be very intellectual in public but in private Ray Charles Jorgan and wife rules their minds.

The Party knows who is good or bad for itself. 233,334 voters have no problem with Jagdeo.

Stolen votes !!! like Burnham days ,this time perpetrated by an Indo - Guyanese Political Leader.
It would be Dr.Irfaan Ali who will be the President and not Jagdeo. The buck stops with Irfaan Ali. When are you people going to understand that? If Granger refused to leave office, there would be no problem escorting him out of the building. I will be there to give a helping hand.

Are you race baiting if so the statement should be--Stolen votes !!! like the Blackman days ,this time perpetrated by an Indo - Guyanese .

The staunch support of the PPP is so screwed up that if all they could put up was jackasses, they would be elected, for sure.
It is because the PPP base hates the country that the PNC has chocks in its tracks.
I am not a PNC supporter. I believe the electorate must be keen in the development of their country, and vote accordingly.

The PPP will have the support of the International Committee. Granger and boys wouldn't last long. The Prime Minister in waiting will kick his butt through the front door.
We will see who has the kahoonahs to get them out.

That's your problem, you can't think.
This is their last hope, to steal a piece of the pie. These people are know for brutal force and violence, they invented the word RIOT. This is not 1963, Dr Jagdeo is well prepared, he has strong financial backers, many hired guns are on the alert. Tell Harmon to play the fool and see what can happen." This time nah lang time".

Wrong. PPP/C Executive Committee will "pull the strings". To ensure that President Ali sticks to the party's manifesto. Unlike APNU+AFC, the PPP/C always abides by its manifesto.

Snake Oil !!!! BJ is the head honcho.
Na Bai, it was Mitwah who sold everyone snake oil.
Gilly is selling castor oil.

Duh does have people running to the out house.
Dat banna Gilly is not down here.
On a different note, I was a cricketer in my younger days and because Guyana didn't have linseed oil to soak the the face of the cricket bat prior to breaking in them, we used castor oil mixed with coconut oil and it worked wonders.
Looking back, I always used to wonder why I made several trips to the out house after soaking the face of the cricket bat with castor oil and coconut oil

In case you are wondering, Ramakant means the International Committee of the Goadee Brigade. He is their commander.

It doesn't matter. He is the Leader of the PPP. He does have influence.
The PPP does not chew up and spit out their Leaders.

I think you are afraid of me.
It is funny that the APNU+AFC stated that the declaration cannot be based on fraudulent votes yet still insist on it being based on Mingo's fraudulent declaration.
