Dear Editor,
ABOUT the leader of the parliamentary opposition party house-to- house rigging claims – simply ridiculous; utterly so, and again exposes the frantic desperation of a power-hungry leader.

The good thing about such politically reckless behaviour, unbelievable in its infantile and scandalous content, and asinine for its occurrence, given the multi involvement of representatives from all the parties, is that it has allowed Guyanese to fully understand the dictatorial mindset of a citizen who once governed this country; attempted another foray at the presidency via a court challenge, even though he had signed into law the constitutional amendment that had decreed otherwise, and fully aware of such; and who in another devious attempt at power grabbing, had his party’s central committee install Irfaan Ally, his declared good friend, as surrogate presidential nominee for the PPP/C.

Those accusations, as to how the Guyana Elections Commission (GECOM) will conduct the house-to-house exercise, are a work of the greatest fiction that could have only been conjured up in a mind like Bharrat Jagdeo’s. But primarily, it is another attempt to bring the nation’s national electoral administration into disrepute; it constitutes a continued assault on the latter institution.

This is another incorrigible lie, which joins the host of others in their attempts to create unease that does not exist. It is part of the great plot that began almost immediately after the coalition assumed office in 2015, commencing with the unfathomable white lies about the collapse of GuySuCo, of which only the PPP/C is capable.

Editor, I am a firm believer that the citizens of this country, including Jagdeo’s supporters, are deeply worried about what the possible potential of their leader’s daily rantings can have for the peace and stability of this country, inclusive of their communities and traditional, good neighbourly relations. But it is for them to cease their passivity, and hold their leader accountable for actions which are wholly negative, and with no gain for the nation’s continuous progess. Moreover, I am a firm believer that this is a special kind of evil that is self-defeating.

Regards
Aditya Persaud
