The living dead and the so-called Guardians of Democracy

Dear Editor,
A group calling itself ‘the Guardians of Democracy” set out to prevent Guyana’s democracy from being stolen while the ballot boxes were staged at the Arthur Chung Convention Center for a recount and validation exercise. It appears now that the guardians may have arrived a little too late. The alarming high number of discrepancies being discovered during the ongoing process suggests that the guardians should have been deployed during election day instead. But even if they were, it is unlikely that they would have seen anything.

Guyana apparently was like the land of the living dead on March 2, 2002. Like in the movies, several men and women arose from their graves on that day. We cannot be certain how many roamed the country, but we know that some of them made their way into polling stations and voted. Their names have been checked to show that they voted when they should have been peacefully resting in their graves. Yet no one saw them. Perhaps the guardians of democracy might have been able to prevent those living-dead from voting if only they were deployed on that day.

There were also phantoms accompanying those who came from the graves. Either that, or perhaps some Guyanese residing abroad may have found a way to beam into Guyana without going through the immigration process. No one knows how, but somehow, several overseas Guyanese were able to vote without being in the country on election day. Either the phantoms voted for them, or the overseas Guyanese voted via Whatsapp. Perhaps if the guardians of democracy were monitoring the polling stations, then they might have been able to prevent such blatant attempt to steal our democracy.

Those are only two forms of irregularities being uncovered. There are others, but it does not matter. It is already clear that those who are so intent on preventing electoral fraud were not up to the task. As evidence of electoral skullduggery continues to emerge, members of the Guardians of Democracy have gone silent. They ought to be fired for being AWOL.
Respectfully
Max Mohamed
