LEADER of the Assembly for Liberty and Prosperity (ALP), Simona Broomes, has urged all stakeholders to respect the outcome of the 2025 general and regional elections.
During a live on her Facebook, she told viewers that the Statement of Polls (SOPs) are available on the Guyana Elections Commission (GECOM)’s website and therefore, certain parties should not attempt to speak contrary to the facts.
She reminded the public that elections are an exercise of the people’s democratic right and once the ballots are counted, the outcome needs to be respected.
Addressing opposition parties partly, she said: “When election time comes, the public votes for the people of their choice. That is their right. But once the elections are over, you must accept the outcome. There’s a type of representation you need, and you must take it — good or bad.”
The ALP leader also chastised parties that only mobilise when elections are announced, noting that true campaign groundwork begins long before polling day.
“You think you win an election when the President [is] announced…From since 2020, you got to start to work for an election to win it in 2025,” she said.
She further stated that when she launched her party and campaigned, it was to continue getting her message out there and she will continue doing such.
“Guyanese people vote, and their vote must speak for them, and they better make it work and hold their leaders accountable. We here in the ALP, we going to hold every single man Jack accountable,” she said.
The party leader stated that despite not performing well as the other big players, she respects the choices of the Guyanese electorate.
