“Fake Statements of Poll were discovered during the verification process and until today no investigation was launched into how, when and by whom did these manufactured statements of poll with manufactured results infiltrate the commission; the employment of persons who are affiliated with certain political parties to serve as electoral staff on elections day;
the refusal of recounts to a party who felt that their supporters were being disenfranchised due to discrepancies in the system. There is also need for an investigation into the role foreign powers played in this well organised and orchestrated plan to remove a Guyanese Government.”
Meanwhile, Chairman of GECOM, Dr Steve Surujbally, when asked by the Guyana Chronicle, declined to comment on the matter.
