Who didn't do research the three US Congress persons ? are you aware they visit Guyana recently.
Most of the time congress people do not know a damn what is happening on the ground. GID uses their local congress persons artfully. I also doubt any of these three people said the US should stay out of Guyanese affairs. If so what are they doing? The APNU has gamed our system via the legal process to remain in office for a year no less than Ramotar in proroguing parliament to avoid an NCV. Remember these were the same crows insisting he did an illegal act.
GID looking to the September date was a concession by the PPP to an already onerous delaying tactic by the APNU. They then used the idea of securing a valid voters list to delay the elections further and now we ended up with a list of electors that is bloated twice as much as they themselves argued. The vile tactics of the APNU disgusts me and at this point vehemence against them by most Guyanese should be personal.
Albert Baldeo had photo op with one of the Congressman that went to Guyana ,thanking them.
The whole mess in Guyana politics is because ,some politicians thinks it's easy to grab power .One have to look and see what played out by the Opposition Leader after Granger became ill.
There would have been no bloated voters list ,all parties agreed for H2H ,which wasn't held in 10 yrs ,money was passed in parliament. Then came the NCM , the rest is history.
Let me reiterate what is standard practice the world over with building valid voters list. The old voters list is the workable starting point. Hoyte insisted on this and delayed elections two year to clean this up. Statistically, this should be the most secure starting point.
This APNU wanted to start all over with the counting process with nothing to compare the data with statistically. People do not move often and especially Guyanese. There would be no bloated list if the process of ongoing registration and purging was in place. That is the mandate of the constitution if ever a 90 day turnover to election was ever possible.
But as usual, anything in Guyana has a rube goldberg solution. Alexander et al did not want to purge the old list of dead and migrated and post it in local jurisdictions where the people can check if they are on it and register.
What is being missed is we do not have compulsory voting so why all the crap about compulsory house to house registration? Voting is a civic duty and if the people do not see it worthwhile to participate that is their choice. The house to house ruse is and always an APNU ruse to delay elections. There was no necessity for it.
Sensible people could have delivered valid elections promptly. India did it in 50 days with 900 million electors and hundreds of thousands of polling sites. The brits did it in a few weeks. We are in this process for over a year and still have an almost 50 percent calculable error rate. No APNU person is complaining as they did before. As night follows day they are rigging our elections as we speak.
