THE APNU+AFC Coalition, on Monday, condemned the People’s Progressive Party/Civic (PPP/C) for allegedly spreading propaganda through fake articles.

In a statement, the ruling coalition alerted Guyanese to the proliferation of fake news and false propaganda reportedly being distributed by the PPP/C and its agents.
“The PPP and their agents have launched a vicious and nasty disinformation campaign and are smothering Facebook, WhatsApp and other social media and messaging services with a barrage of absolutely fake news in an effort to mislead the Guyanese electorate,” the coalition said in a statement.

It said this is a clear indication of the extreme desperation by the PPP/C as its “weak and fanciful campaign promises” fail to resonate with the Guyanese populace. According to the APNU+AFC, the PPP/C has resorted to lies, propaganda and fake news as a last resort with less than one week to Elections Day.

“The APNU+AFC Coalition condemns these dirty tactics by the PPP and calls on all Guyanese to remain vigilant and alert and not to succumb to, or be alarmed by, the PPP fake news campaign. We implore all Guyanese not to be distracted and to remain focused on March 2nd, 2020 and exercising their constitutional duty in an atmosphere free from fear, intimidation and propaganda,” the coalition urged.

Notwithstanding the increasing number of fake news being peddled against it, the APNU+AFC said it is encouraged by the overwhelming demonstration of support by the masses. As such, the coalition said it is confident of a resounding victory at the polls come Monday. Such victory will see President David Granger returning as President.

“We thank the Guyanese people for their support and confidence in His Excellency and his inclusive and caring government and we look forward to serving all Guyanese for a second term post-March 2nd,” APNU+AFC said while iterating that it will continue to transform Guyana.
