– for a boycott of future elections

Dear Editor,
I HAVE noted the Guyana Chronicle report on August 27 that 297,000 persons have been registered under the house-to-house exercise being done by the Guyana Elections Commission (GECOM).

This shows that the call by the Opposition for a boycott of house-to-house registration of citizens to create a new database for a voters list is a total failure.

All Guyanese want an up-to-date National Register and a clean voters list that would include our voting-aged youths and all other eligible citizens.

The LOO should be renamed “Boycott Jagdeo”, not Bharrat Jagdeo. After the defeat of the People’s Progressive Party (PPP) at the 2015 polls, he boycotted the National Assembly. His party boycotted national events. It had embarked on a campaign of non-cooperation and civil disobedience, which also failed.

Guyanese are again ignoring his negative tactics. The Boycott Call is a cover for a boycott of future elections. He is determined to exclude PPP supporters from the governance process in order to promote ethnic divisions out of spite that he can no longer hold political office.

Shame on him!
Regards,
Rovin Singh
