MEMBERS of the APNU and AFC parties have vented their anger and jealousy of the massive successful rallies of the PPP/C by tearing down some 150 posters and destroying bill boards at Bush Lot and Charity on the Essequibo Coast.Reports said the attack against the party posters started shortly after the posters of President Donald Ramotar and Prime Ministerial candidate Ms Elisabeth Harper were posted up on street light post from Anna Regina to Hampton Court.

According to reports, some 150 posters between Hampton Court and Anna Regina were ripped off. Reports said several party supporters who were at Anna Regina around 1:00am Saturday morning helping to decorate the park for the grand rally saw a car drove up the high bridge and stopped and four men came out and started pulling down posters of the PPP/C party.
