Granger is not threatening violence. This topic has been discussed and discredited as PPP negative campaigning already. It would help us all if the PPP stopped asking each and every PPP propagandist on GNI to post the same lies a few hours apart.

The worthless and unscrupulous PPP mounted a sickening poster in hinterland communities, likening David Granger with Adolf Hitler and Saddam Hussein.

Granger rightfully defended himself by saying bluntly that the PPP is playing with fire.

Now yuji says Granger threatens violence.

Barefaced people provoked Granger. Here is the poster, which the PPP dares not circulate in Georgetown.

No constitutionally valid election date has been set

January 24, 2015 ·

Dear Editor,

The President and his learned Attorney General and Minister of Legal Affairs must be advised that, contrary to their delusionary understanding and the expressions of approbation by the political opposition and other well-wishers, a definitive determination of the election date within the meaning of Article 61 of the Guyana Constitution is yet to be made.

According to Article 61 such a determination requires:

(a) appointment of the election date by the President by proclamation, that is, an appropriate gazettable instrument in writing;

(b) such appointment to be made only after the dissolution of Parliament and not before nor during its prorogation.

In the premises, no constitutionally valid election date has been determined up to the time of writing.

Yours faithfully,

Professor Justice Duke Pollard

LIES AND MORE LIES BY PPP SUPPORTER

VOTERS BEWARE OF KING LIER

Yugi why this type of headlines?

There are already clear indications that the unpopular PPP intends to wage a nasty and vicious elections campaign to thwart defeat.

The corrupt cabal want to safeguard their ill-gotten gains at all costs.

After ruling the country for 22 long years, after amassing untold wealth for themselves and cronies, after giving away big forestry concessions to bribers Bai Shan Lin, after chalking up a record of ministerial misconduct and malfeasance, the PPP in its elections campaign will still use the Burnham bogeyman to scare its Indo-Guyanese voting base. The PPP will slander and tarnish the reputations of the current PNC leadership and alliance partners.

Vision and foresight will take a back seat in the PPP elections bandwagon.

Is 9 Hours gone and Yuji & Skeldon Missing.

PNCR demands new election date “or else” …as Opposition Leader David Granger ‘spits fire’ against ruling PPP

January 24, 2015

 

A PARTNERSHIP for National Unity (APNU) is furious with the date set by the President Donald Ramotar for the holding of the 2015 General and Regional Elections and at least one of its factions has issued an ultimatum to the Head of State to announce a new date by Tuesday “or else.”

The demand came as the opposition coalition took to its first public platform, since President, Ramotar on Tuesday last announced that May 11 will be Elections Day.
At an APNU orchestrated rally held at the vicinity of the Stabroek Market on Friday evening, Ryan Belgrave, the Chairperson of the Guyana Youth and Student Movement (GYSM) issued the ultimatum citing a conspiracy against the nation’s youth given the coincidental regional examinations.
The GYSM is youth arm of the Peoples National Congress Reform.
Belgrave was supported by other APNU speakers at the forum including, Basil Williams, Volda Lawrence, Annette Ferguson and Keith Scott.

‘OR ELSE’
According to Belgrave, the President has until Tuesday when he convenes the council of Cabinet Ministers at Office of the President.
In the call to action come Tuesday January 27, Belgrave announced to those gathered in the Stabroek Square that the President must announce a new date for Elections “or else” as he said the Guyanese youth must be “ready for action.”
In detailing a conspiracy theory on why the President chose May 11, as the Elections Date, Belgrave said that the plot had been hatched for some time now and juxtaposed a statement purportedly made by the Head of the Presidential Secretariat, Dr Roger Luncheon that the date will not be chosen carelessly.
President Ramotar and the Ministry of Education have both given public assurances that measures will be put in place to ensure there is no disruption to the local leg of the regional examinations.
Belgrave took this to mean evidence of a ploy to undermine the Guyana Elections Commission (GECOM) by forcing it to use private residences as polling stations and as a result the date for the elections must be changed.
While at the podium he also launched a vitriolic assault on Education Minister Priya Manickchand, whom he accused of failing to defend Guyanese children.
PNCR Chairman, Basil Williams, was the keynote speaker on Friday evening’s rally and he dismissed the May 11 elections date altogether calling it illegitimate.
Distilling a constitutional argument to those gathered at the Stabroek Square, in defence of his party’s position, Williams, charged that the date announced by President Ramotar “has no legal validity.”
He suggested that the date announced was a ploy by the President to somehow avoid elections.
The rally started shortly before 19:00hrs in the vicinity of the Guyana Police Force mobile outpost, in the vicinity of the Stabroek Market and while it did grab the attention of curious passersby, it managed to keep only a few scores enthralled.

PLAYING WITH FIRE
The rally however was preceded by a blistering warning from the Opposition Leader, David Granger, who accused the Peoples Progressive Party (PPP) of: “playing with fire.”
Granger’s outburst, oddly, came as he was being asked about the incumbent’s possible abuse of State resources in its campaign.
In fact, the Opposition Leader was asked specifically: “Are you at all worried about the possible implications of being outsourced (exact words) by the PPP regime in the upcoming elections considering the fact that the AFC has called on GECOM to publish the guidelines against the abuse of state resources?”
Granger told the media operatives present, “I have written to the Chairman of the Election Commission and I am deeply concerned.”
Informed that GECOM has purportedly indicated that it can only publish guidelines, Granger was again pressed “so are you worried about what this means for your party.”
The Opposition Leader’s response: “I am worried about what the people will do to the publishers of that vile propaganda.”
A somewhat taken aback media corps then heard Granger, expand on his unsolicited deviation by saying “I don’t know if the police are going to be able to restrain those angry people.”
It was at this point that the Opposition Leader declared the, “PPP is playing with fire.”
Granger accused the PPP of being responsible for the publication of a flier purportedly being distributed in interior locations, depicting him in military garb, alongside with the images of Adolph Hitler and Saddam Hussein.
According to Granger the PPP is playing with fire, “when they start claiming that the Demerara River will run red with blood if Granger is elected President…they are playing with fire and I warn them to desist.”
Expanding further, the retired army brigadier said he was not worried about himself, but rather “I am worried about them,” an obvious reference to the ruling PPP/C administration.

yugi when kwame finish rubbing your back come back here and represent  this post the dictator have these ppp fools posting lies and will not stand up to it

It is quite obvious that Guyanese are scared of a very violent PNC.

From the 60's up till 1992, the PNC was the most violent, destructive and anti development Government the entire Caribbean has ever seen.

The hundreds of thousands of Guyanese who fled the brutal PNC dictatorship era fully aware of the PNC and what they will unleash on Guyanese. Indo Guyanese were humiliated under the PNC dictatorship era. This is a known fact.

Guyanese will reject the violent and destructive PNC. It must also be noted that the AFC which has lost it's support base in now engaging with the PNC to unleash more violence.

The actions and words of the PNC must be rejected immediately.

Peace loving Guyanese must also send a strong message to the AFC to stop supporting a very violent PNC.

PNC gave us long lines for basic food items, electricity, water and gas etc.

Guyana was broke and Guyanese were humiliated under the PNC.

Guyanese must protect their assets and future by saying NO to a very violent PNC/AFC.

Berbicans must remember PPP supporters murdered by the PNC controlled army at No. 63 Village in Berbice 

Granger was an integral part of the PNC rigging machinery.

The Past can and will ALWAYS repeat itself.

The PPP is showing how much disrespect they have for Guyanese by holding elections DURING the CSEC exams.

Why not just admit that an error was made and select another day?  The fact that the PPP digs its toes in the sand about this just shows that they were NEVER interested in dialogue.  How can the PPP object to changing the date when it has been pointed out to them that the date that they selected is WRONG!

Carib, Even if an error was made(I do not agree with the date either), the PPP will not change the date. They will not allow the opposition to dictate to them when election is going to be held. If the PPP does change the date, then the PPP will look weak.

Skelly

Elections are going full steam ahead as announced. The AFC/PNC was caught off guard with most AFC/PNC posters boldly proclaiming that the PPP is afraid of elections.

Now that the elections have been announced the opposition AFC/PNC are getting scared.

Internal polling puts the PPP at 54 percent and rising as the opposition wheels fall off.

PNC peaks at 40 percent with the AFC's zero support base.

Our friends and relatives in Corriverton gave the AFC a taste of what lies ahead of them......  a bunch of curass head.

You holding the email from the PPP the wrong way up on your iPad. The internal polling figures are quite the opposite. PPP support rapidly declining. AFC support increasing off the back of former PPP voters now deciding to vote AFC.

The main issue in upcoming elections is not the PNC.

The PPP has controlled the ship of state for 22 years now.

The main issue is what the PPP has done in government.

On May 11, the PPP will be on trial.

Voters will be pronouncing their verdict on the PPP, not on the PNC.

SK

Mouth open story jump out!!

Weak they are if they did not get the date correct. Just do the right thing and change the date.

On another note, the opposition parties are solely responsible for causing the PPP Gov't to cut short thier term in offfice by calling  early elections.

Although PPP support is rapidly declining they are playing and hoping that the race card will win and it may very well be so.

Indians are more racist than any other ethnic group in Guyana and I have been hearing from them that they will prefer the less of the two evils and will stay with their own.

However having said that the good news is the educated younger Indians are seeing the corruption by the PPP and will tend to vote AFC.

SAY WHAT" tHEY ARE FRIKEN WEAK, THEY ARE SLIME, THEY ARE...

He readin it while someone climb on his back, dats what happen.

Chief, take this from me. The Indian race card in 2015 is a big loser.

The 2012 census shows that clearly and the PPP is hiding the final census report.

Remember one more thing. Not all Indos vote PPP. Freedom House support comes mainly from Hindus and that constituency is dwindling through conversion and migration.

Your observation on young Indians is valid.

The PPP will lose the elections, period. Bogeyman Burnham doesn't scare people anymore.

Gil..them bhai's think invoking Burhnam will help them to

win, the kabaka gone a long time.

The more time, effort and expense the PPP spends invoking Burnham, the happier I am. In the eyes of the masses, Burnham is not on trial on May 11.

So when Ramotar prorogued parliament it wasn't because he wanted dialogue. If he cannot even concede a minor thing like the date of the elections, how can he be seen as really wanting serious dialogue.

This is the problem with the PPP.  They are a MINORITY government which refuses to concede the fact that a major part of the country has NEVER liked them, and in fact in 2011 MOST didn't.

Even if the PPP gets 51% this time Guyana will NEVER move forward until the PPP stops these childish tantrums.

Now THAT makes the PPP look weak!

Hmmmm.  Interesting comments.

I wouldn't use the term "racist".  I will use the term "ethnically exclusive" which Jaya, a poster from long ago used.  They have a different notion of what nationhood is than do other groups. Ethnic identity dominates national identity to a greater extent than is the case for other Guyanese (Africans, Portuguese, mixed and GUYANESE Chinese). 

In a multi racial society, where Indians remain the largest and the economically and politically dominant group, there needs to be more discussion on this, because obviously it becomes a source of tension, and impacts others.  Yet this discussion is usually stifled.

Let us say this in another way.  APNU will win the election. 

Do you think this will happen, or don't you, because I think when we see it from this perspective it will allows us to determine whether indeed the PPP loses, or whether they remain a minority gov't with a fewer seats.  Which is predict will happen.

I agree that playing he race card, and screaming Burnham will back fire on them so they ought to continue.

Same old P.N.C....same old P.N.C...

no you lie,bynoe,joe bloody hands is in freedum house planning to beat AFC COLLIE

Another old coolie man complaining about being scared of being beaten up by dem evil violent black people.

I suspect this says more about our insecure coolie men than it does about our supposedly violent blacks.

Citizens were far safer under the PNC than they are under the PPP right now.

The Guyanese debts was lower.

Crime was lower.

The cost of living was lower

evil n-igger is different than black people which one is you

Oi warrior Shaitaan is cool, he's on our side.

who he calling old collie man and scare of black people 

LMAO LMAO

Oh Jesus. I was referring to the owner of this thread and it's title.

I see we never stopped using the word "collie"

Speaking of collies, I tried to visit PPG in Guyana but didn't get a chance
