do they work overnight or everybody go home at 5?

my question is, he claimed that he is there for life unless proven otherwise, how is that allowed.

I missed that one....

Good question..how can he be there for life? These people make me crazy if I bother with them....

The Alliance will sack Surujbally and replace him with their own whom they can trust to rig the next election.  They will then get rid of the AFC and the Army will be a part of the PNC again.

Good luck Guyana.   

you wish...

yes in the press conference he was asked about his roles, he says he has been there for 10+ years and is the longest running chairman in the southern hemisphere, furthermore he is there for life unless it is proven that he is unfit or mentally sick.

well...I think he mentally sick

look at the replay from 27.50 onwards

Doubt whether he is there for life, he is about pensionable age now, so I doubt that we shall see him in the next Election.

haul you a....s,you living in a shell.

I am impatient myself, GECOM had issues getting to the ballot boxes in time due to some PNC'ites causing confusion.  They will bring us the good news in due time.

These people always do that. They are schooled to delay, destruct, destroy and create confusion.  They have training Programs at Sophia months before Election.

You running out of white rum

The ballot boxes issue was only ONE of the MANY reported incidents. 

• Priya Manikchand and another Minister were locked up in a polling station in Mahaicony fearing for their lives while angry PNC'ites mobs gathered outside.    
• PPP polling agents were beaten (one of them abandoned his car and it was shoved into a trench on the East Coast). 
• PNC polling agents showed up without their id's at numerous polling stations delaying the voting process in PPP strongholds. 

These were all reported on INEWS. Some things never change.

The PNC can NEVER win a FREE and Fair Election.

You crying baby now who in their right mind read this news

ME NAH KNOW

You need a boy friend
