The Working People’s Alliance (WPA) on Sunday called on the new Guyana Elections Commission (GECOM) Chairperson to resist pressure for halting house-to-house registration, .......“Justice (Claudette) Singh’s.... must withstand those pressures,” the party said in a statement to welcome Justice Singh’s appointment.
The WPA’s call comes against the backdrop of the People’s Progressive Party (PPP) demanding that President David Granger dissolves Parliament and calls general elections the latest by September 18, three months after the Caribbean Court of Justice (CCJ) validated last December’s no-confidence motion.
But the governing coalition, including the WPA, believes that the voters’ list, which expired on April 30, is bloated by about 200,000 names and contains other defects, necessitating the need for house-to-house registration.
...The WPA pointed out that while it is positive for all organisations to speak up on national political issues, “Civil Society organizations and individuals should also serve as mediators.”
The WPA is in no position to make the claim that the list is bloated or to tell the nation the new H2H will be not be. There is no valid statistical evidence to support the garbage peddled as fact by the WPA and others th at there ae 200K names on the list who should not be there. This is political dark craft not fact.
