Disqualified Because Of His Dual Citizenship. 

 URP, Dr. Vishnu Bandhu

The parties submitted their lists of Candidates on Friday but Presidential Candidate of the URP, Dr. Vishnu Bandhu has since withdrawn from the race as he is a dual citizen.

GECOM is deciding how to deal with this matter since he would have signed a declaration form in the presence of a Justice of Peace (JP) declaring that he is only a citizen of Guyana and is aware of the articles in the Constitution of Guyana which prohibits dual citizens from being elected a member of the National Assembly.

“We have taken decisions as to how that is to be dealt with,” Gunraj said.

However, it is unclear how this affects his party contesting the elections since Mr. Gunraj could not disclose whether he was replaced on his National Top Up list which had the exact 42 persons required to be approved.

GECOM Commissioner, Vincent Alexander was asked if the police will be called in to which he responded “could be.”

He added that “if Dr. Bandhu is not eligible, what essentially GECOM would do is not approve him as a candidate; there is no other action GECOM will take in direct relationship with Dr. Bandhu.”

 These two men provide false information by signing the declaration forms and swearing in front of a JP, they should be jail. 

Since when Bandhu is a doctor?  His party was the only one that was contesting in all ten regions along with PPP and PNC.  His constituents were betrayed.  

Crooks a plenty in Guyana. 😀

Love how Shuman said that the relinquishment document is “just a small document” when no one considers the landing document (if that is what it is called) just a small document. 😀

All these fools want to run a whole country when they can’t even remember that they are dual citizens. Running countries should be done by politicians. We see how disastrous Granger is at running Guyana since he is grossly inexperienced in that field.

AGREED! Jail dem...

AND that one banna is a fake "DR"

Shuman is a big disappointment. He should return to Canada.

I don't doubt Shuman's sincerity in wanting to serve Guyana via politics. And I got the impression that Shuman is a splendid showman. I wish him the best.

I said all along that these crooks will not give up their foreign citizenship. It's will be like committing suicide if they did. We are seeing how "smart flies fasten in cow kaka hole". Stay tuned.

Shuman was suspect from the get go. I liked him because he seemed sincere but he turned out to be an opportunist like the others who are dual citizens. I thought he could have done well representing the Amerindians.

These people want to have a foot in both countries and if they are not successful politically in Guyana, they will migrate back to the US or Canada, where their new navel strings are attached. They dont plan on living there after the election. Their families are not living in Guyana and they dont want to give up the benefits they receive in the foreign countries.

That being said...I believe the Constitution should be changed to allow dual citizenship, and a No Confidence vote should require a greater majority, not a simple majority. 

And you should get a brain replacement cause you too STUPID!!!

Dummy, Gail said she was an American Citizen. Laad shit brain when yuh gun catch sense?, NEVER!! I answer my own question.

D2 Bai Shuman is untrustworthy.

This banana is an opportunist like so many other politicians who only have their own selfish interest at heart. 
He showed up naked infront of GrNger who rejected him because his party had nothing to offer APNU and was of no value. Another one bites the dust.

Bibi, do you understand a single word in this CV?

Did you read any of the 170 articles?

That's a well padded CV.

This picture shows Shuman family still living in Canada and was taken last December.

Those images look very Guyanaish.

Look at the snow through the window. You can take a man out of Guyana but you can't take Guyana out of the man.

He look like one of them boys from upper courantyne

Where did Gilly go? Is he OK?

Shuman has a very beautiful family and should really decide on their future and assuming that his children are Canadian born, he should raise and educate them in Canada. That’s my two cents. 

I doubt Shuman’s family is going to join him in chasing soup in Guyana.
