PPP to concede elections; Granger to be sworn in on Saturday

 By Staff on May 15, 2015

The Guyana Elections Commission will make its final declarations of the results at 12 noon on Saturday and David Arthur Granger will be sworn into Office as Guyana's 8th President at 1pm.

The People’s Progressive Party has made a decision to concede the 2015 General Elections and has started to inform members of the Diplomatic Community of its intention.

The Guyana Elections Commission will make its final declarations of the results at 12 noon on Saturday and David Arthur Granger will be sworn into Office as Guyana’s 8th President at 1pm. 

News Source understands that President Donald Ramotar has been on the phone with a number of the Heads of the Foreign Missions in Guyana and has indicated that he has made a decision to concede the elections.

Former President Bharrat Jagdeo has also indicated that the party will concede defeat.

Sources familiar with the conversations have indicated to News Source that the leaders of the PPP have also made it clear that they do not intend to impede Granger’s inauguration into office.

The Diplomatic Community has been informed of the swearing-in to take place at 1pm on Saturday and Senior officials of the APNU+AFC coalition have also confirmed that the swearing-in will take place on Saturday just after the declaration.

Outgoing President Donald Ramotar up to Friday afternoon was holding out that the elections were fraudulent as he made several new claims to the Elections Commission. By Friday afternoon, the Elections Commission informed the PPP that it had checked all of its concerns and gone through statements of polls and all of the claims were found to be false.

On Friday afternoon also, the American, British and Canadian Missions in Guyana reaffirmed their position that the elections were free, fair and credible. A number local and foreign observer missions also made it clear that the elections were free and fair.

The PPP came under pressure on Friday to concede defeat in the elections. A number of government ministers started to return their government vehicles and properties on Friday also as they parted ways with the President and conceded defeat on their own.

Mr. Granger is expected to name his cabinet tomorrow and the swearing in of the new cabinet is expected early in the new week.

Someone mentioned that Robert run and gaan a Venezuela and Jagdeo on his way to India. TBV.

Why would he have to move out, no one to work at the barn

Good...time to move on

About time and time to move ahead. 

After this there is no more wait, It shows that Donald Duck has lost the little bit of credibility:

GECOM Chairman, Dr. Steve Surujbally told Demerara Waves Online News that the Commission checked the PPP’s Statements of Poll were identical to those in possession of the Commission.

“All of the 21 boxes taken into evidence that they said the numbers have changed, they in fact had not changed. The PPP SOPs that they presented us with- when we checked the official SOPs- they were exactly the same, an exact replica,” he said.

Surujbally assured that the Commission went through all of them- 4216, 4223, 4237,4266, 4267, 4279, 4287, 4292, 4323, 4352, 4358, 4359, 4385, 4392, 4643, 4644, 4656, 4701, 4703, 4707 and 4723-“all of these 21 boxes, the PPP’s SOPs are identical with the GECOM SOPs and what they have there as purportedly GECOM SOPs with this great difference I cannot tell you where they got them from.”
