Opposition Leader David Granger has since suggested that President Donald Ramotar change the election date from May 11.
“It is obviously an error or I would say a blunder because now that it has happened, the PPP is trying to correct that mistake and they probably didn’t put enough thought into it,” Granger told Reporters on Wednesday, January 21 at his Hadfield Street, Georgetown Office.
The Opposition Leader does not believe that the date for the examinations should be changed, since it is traditionally written around May of each year throughout the Caribbean.
“Maybe the President had better announce a new date rather than try to change the date of the examination, in fact the date has not been proclaimed as yet as elections day meaning you still have time to correct it.”
Concerns continue to mount about the President’s decision to hold elections on May 11, and its possible ramifications for the examinations throughout the country.
The concerns were raised since a significant number of schools are used as polling stations on elections day and more so since the PPP has called for the elimination of private residents being used as polling stations.
Efforts by iNews to contact officials from the Ministry of Education and the Guyana Elections Commission (GECOM) for a comment on the issue proved futile.
Now that a date has been announced for National and Regional elections the PNC, PNCR, PNCRIG or APNU must get rid of this dumb fu#*! and joker who calls himself leader. This guy’s 2 IC is quoted as saying “bring it on” and he wants a change of date. I suggest he put on his black outfit and picket OP, CARICOM and US Embassy for a change of date. One of his placard can read “I WILL BE THE EDUCATION PRESIDENT”.
The PPP/C candidate will need a strong opponent. I recommend Mr Greenidge.
