VICE-President Dr. Bharrat Jagdeo is calling for an investigation into the documents that were given to the Guyana Elections Commission (GECOM) by the Guyana Revenue Authority (GRA) and immigration during the March 2020 “elections rigging”.

He related that in a statement issued by the GECOM commissioners, they said there were numerous allegations of voter impersonation.
“I don’t know of a single allegation of voter impersonation until they tried to sabotage the recount. APNU [A Party for National Unity] had polling agents in almost every one of the over 2,000 polling places in this country,” VP Jagdeo said.

He added: “They all signed the SOP, and never a claim of voters’ impersonation until they attempted to create confusion at the recount. So, that statement is false; absolutely false.”
He noted that the commissioners said GECOM was provided with documentation from statutory agencies and bodies to substantiate these allegations.

“You recall the GRA producing a fictitious list, and immigration producing another list of who was in the country and who was not, and we found people there whom they said were abroad, who never had travelled out of the country,” VP Jagdeo related.

He urged the government to launch an investigation into the allegations, and the “so-called evidence” provided by the statutory agencies, because they have been a little lax on taking tough action against the persons that fabricated the data.

“Make it public so the media would have that, and then launch an investigation as to how they were put together, because there was false information… If false information is provided by statutory agencies with the purpose of corrupting an election, then the people who provided that information should face the consequences. So, I am going to urge that that happens,” VP Jagdeo said.
