Presidential Candidate of A Partnership for National Unity (A.P.N.U), David Granger, has said that he denounces any form of incitement and violence.
“I call on our Partnership members, supporters, friends and the general public to work towards the peaceful conduct of general and regional elections on Monday.”
He said that A.P.N.U, together with other contesting parties, freely signed the Code of Conduct for Political Parties Contesting the 2011 General and Regional Elections drafted by the Guyana Elections Commission on November 11.
The Code of Conduct committed all signatories to the peaceful and respectful conduct during the elections campaign. The Code specifically forbade “the use of abusive, slanderous or threatening language, or language which could incite people of one group to violence against any Candidate, Agent, Member and Supporter of any other group.”
“A.P.N.U supporters are asked for the sake of peace, to ignore the abusive slanderous statements uttered by President Bharrat Jagdeo.
“These are in breach of the Code of Conduct. President Jagdeo has invented wild slanders intended to incite people, scare voters and create an atmosphere of alarm, despondency and fear in order to provoke a hostile reaction. Some of these attacks were directed against me, A.P.N.U’s Presidential Candidate.”
He called on his supporters to avoid physical confrontations, especially with violent agents of the People’s Progressive Party.
“Many of the latter have been involved in defacing, damaging and destroying A.P.N.U’s posters, flags and other election material around the country.
“Incidents in which persons associated with the PPP/C have drawn, brandished and discharged their personal firearms, with the intention of provoking security ‘situations’ have been reported in the press.”
LISTEN HOW JAGDEO WILL MAKE ALL GUYANESE RICH!!!
