A senior Canadian government official yesterday warned that a fraudulently elected government here will not be recognised.

 

It was the latest warning coming from a Western country about the need to ensure that every vote at the March 2 General Elections is counted.

Michael Grant, Assistant Deputy Minister for the Americas at Global Affairs Canada said on his Twitter feed: “We’re monitoring closely the legal proceedings related to Guyana’s elections. We believe a recount of the ballots is necessary to ensure every vote is counted. The will of the people must be respected for Canada to recognize the legitimacy of a duly elected government.”

Nearly four weeks after the general elections, Guyana is still awaiting the victor following allegations of attempts to rig the vote in favour of APNU+AFC.

Correct on recount of votes.

It would be best if Guyanese remain vigilant and patient and CCJ makes a final and impartial ruling to move the process forward and CARICOM conducts a fair and impartial recount of ALL votes cast and then a winner declared. That’s the way forward since PNC is using their compromised judges and are dictating what happens at GECOM. This action by the PNC will send them into wilderness for Another 25 years.
