THE Guyana Elections Commission (GECOM) has indicated that its 7th Cycle of Continuous Registration commences on Monday, December 1, 2014.And the People’s Progressive Party (PPP) has made clear its support for the Commission’s plan in which persons will be allowed to register for the first time, conduct transfers and makes changes to their registration details.
The ruling party, in a statement said, “The PPP fully supports GECOM’s plans to conduct the 7th Cycle of Continuous Registration commencing on Monday December 1st, 2014, and continuing for three months. On several occasions, the PPP had made it known to GECOM that it has information indicating a large number of persons who are still to conduct transactions, enabling them to be correctly listed on the Voters List.
“The Party also wishes to strongly condemn the APNU and AFC for responding negatively to GECOM’s intention of conducting another cycle of registration. The question may very well be asked, which serious minded politician or political party will knowingly want to disenfranchise Guyanese? Unless their intention is to somehow invoke aspects of elections held during the period 1968 – 1985.”
According to the party, it will remain resolute as it continues to monitor the Opposition’s reactions to GECOM’s preparations for elections.
