I WILL go to court to see if PNC lawyers, Ronald Daniels and Dexter Todd, can actually win a court case, if they can tell the nation that as lawyers, they accept Aubrey Norton’s reasoning on the election results.
You win cases in court by irrefutable evidence. You lose cases in court when you or your client horribly contradicts his/herself. A judge has a right to chase the client and his/her lawyer out of court if he/she tells the judge that he saw John Jones strike a pedestrian with his/her car then tells the judge under questioning that it was not a car but a minibus. No human can confuse a car with a minibus. But Norton comes close to doing so in terms of an analogy
After listening and watching Norton in an interview recently, if as a PNC supporter, PNC hierarchy member and as a decent, right-thinking Guyanese, you accept this man as your leader, then, you need to consult a psychoanalyst.
Here is Norton and judge for yourself. Three times in the interview, Norton said that the election results showed “widespread rejection” of the PPP by the electorate.
More than five times, Norton said in the same interview that the PPP rigged the 2025 poll. Norton went on to add that in South Georgetown and in Region 10, the voters did not choose the PPP.
At one time he said when it comes to rigging, the PPP is unscrupulous. Please remember as my analysis continues below that in my piece yesterday (Monday), I informed readers that in an interview, David Hinds laced his presentation with two contradictory perspectives – the PPP did poorly in the 2025 election and the PPP rigged the election.
You cannot tell the policeman that you walk a mile to the shopping mall and in the same breath you tell the policeman you ran a mile to the mall. Either you walked or you ran. You cannot rig an election, and the opposition has evidence that you were rejected and did poorly. The two positions are trillions of miles apart. It is impossible to reconcile the two.
Rigging distorts the statistics of an election so you cannot do an analysis of the statistics because the statistics do not exist. So, by what magic, Norton knows that the electorate repudiated the PPP and by what magic Hinds knows the PPP did poorly? Where they got the statistics from?
Here is a commonsensical example. The eligible voters in Backdam Village are 1,000. The polling clerk rigged the voting and gave the purple party, 980 votes. How then would one know if the Purple Party was rejected or did poorly? Science cannot be helpful here because all the eyes can see is 980 ballots for the Purple Party.
In this entire world, will someone ask Norton that if the PPP rigged the 2025 poll why would it shape its rigging to exclude voters from South Georgetown and Region 10, places where Norton said people rejected the PPP?
Norton reads the Kaieteur News, so he must have seen Glen Lall screaming in a front-page article last week that the PPP lost 3,800 votes in 2025 from 2020 in its traditional stronghold of Regions Two, Three and Six. So, what were the riggers doing? Why did they allow this to happen?
There is another question that those who accept that Norton is their leader have to ask him. Why, if as Norton claims, the PPP are unscrupulous riggers, the rigging resulted in the PPP gaining three more seats and 9,000 more votes from 2020? Why would unscrupulous riggers not give themselves about 10 more seats and collect about 30,000 more votes from what they got in 2020?
Burnham never perpetuated his electoral fraud by giving himself three more seats and 9,000 more votes from what he got in the last election. Let’s see what the PNC riggers gave themselves in 1968, 1973, 1980, and 1985. In 1964, the election was free and fair. The PNC got 22 seats and 41 percent of the vote. In the rigged poll of 1968 that increased to 59 percent and 30 seats.
In the next election, in 1973, the rigging increased the PNC seats to 37 and the percent to 70. In 1980, the rigging increased the PNC seats to 41 and the percent to 78. In 1985, the rigging machine handed the PNC 42 seats and 79 percent.
So, through rigging, the PNC more than doubled its seats of 22 in 1964 to 42 in 1985. Norton and Hinds are fooling people. They lost a free election and are ashamed to admit it. Is this the man that currently heads the PNC?
