…as he accuses the PPP of attacking Chief Elections Officer

A PARTNERSHIP for National Unity’s (APNU) Shadow Minister of Home Affairs Winston Felix is “up to his usual mischief” in accusing the People’s Progressive Party (PPP) of attacking Chief Elections Officer, Keith Lowenfield. 
In fact, Felix is trying to pitch the PPP against Lowenfield, PPP General Secretary, Clement Rohee said yesterday at the party’s weekly news conference at Freedom House in Georgetown.

Felix recently accused the PPP of attacking Lowenfield by raising repeated concerns about the voters list and the management of the Guyana Elections Commission (GECOM).

“Mr. Felix is the man who was responsible for the death of so many policemen under his watch. He was responsible for so many things that took place under his watch and what kind of moral authority does Mr. Felix have to come out and make a statement of this nature? He is up to his usual mischief,” Rohee remarked.
He said the PPP welcomes Lowenfield’s assumption to office and has no interest in attacking anyone personally at GECOM.

“We attack issues, not personalities. Our position is very clear and very principled. If we have a problem with any aspect of the elections preparations, list or otherwise, we would make our views known publicly. We will send our views written to GECOM.
“We have nothing to hide. We are not doing anything surreptitiously. We have no interest in rigging elections. We have fought against all those things and therefore our position is a principled one,” Rohee remarked.
