The Party also rubbished statements by the PNC/R and GECOM on the use of Community Support Officers (CSO’s) posing as GECOM staff checking lists in Region One on behalf of the Party.
In a statement, the Party stated that “These attacks disguised as exposes about person posing as GECOM operatives have placed PPP activists checking the list on the ground in grave physical danger”.
The Party added that “Over the past 24 hours it has been brought to our attention that in certain communities that have traditionally supported the PNC, that on checking the PLE, irregularities have begun to surface in regards to names appearing on the list. Indications are that the PLE may very well be padded”.
The ruling party called on GECOM to explain the steep surge in names amounting to 78,000 plus new registrants on the PLE whereas the pattern over the years has been approximately 11,000.
The PPP is now demanding a complete breakdown of the new registrants and their origin.
The Party stated that it is hopeful that these attacks from GECOM and the PNC/R are not intended to obstruct verification of the PLE which their activists are conducting countrywide presently.
A press statement from the PNC/R noted that the CSO’s who are paid by the Ministry of Amerindian Affairs “are masquerading as officers of the GECOM and canvasing residents of the region.”
GECOM had cause to issue a statement noting that it is in receipt of reports from Region 1 (Barima-Waini) that unauthorized persons, claiming to be employees of GECOM, have been visiting homes with copies of extracts of the current PLE to check, and advise residents, on their registration status.
But the Commission has distanced itself from such activity and emphatically stated that none of its staff is engaged in any such activity in Region 1 or any other Region.
People, make no mistake. The PNC are the master riggers.
They have never won an election.
They want the LGE real bad.
Now if the LGE is held and padded lists are used, it is endorsement for the big one!
I have no doubt, the Opposition wants the LGE to use as a spring board for the ‘big one’!
It is not illegal to canvass but illegal to misrepresent.
PPP/C foot soldiers. Please walk in groups and arm yourself with cameras and recording devices.
The PNC rig the 1968 elections with a massive padded list of non existent people. Do not let them do it again.
PPPC will have to get security escorts to accompany their people to go into PNC stronghold villages to find these 78 thousand people in the voters list:: When PNC used to win there were old abandoned houses that used to vote PNC.. That PNC political party will never give Guyanese a fair shake ever…It want power to rule at all cost…Now the Guyanese public knows why the US ambassador and PNC were hot in calling LGE when in fact its general election they want with their padded list of 78 thousand names from Mars..
