DEAR EDITOR,
The Guyana Elections Commission (GECOM) has registered 78,000 new electors in the present registration cycle and the majority of these new electors have been placed in three or four of the Regions.
Such a vast number of new electors and their concentration in three or four Regions is a statistical impossibility and the PPP has been bitterly complaining of this. Very strangely, none of the various persons who readily pronounce on such matters has said one word about this electoral absurdity, and no member of the investigative journalist fraternity has taken up the challenge of explaining the conundrum.
In solving the problem, I would suggest: (1) GECOM does a 10% sample census in the most affected areas with different enumerators than the ones who did it in the first place. (2) The political parties urgently invoke the assistance of the various international organizations whose remit is to uphold Democracy and to investigate such matters.
Initially, such organizations do not have to visit Guyana, but should be merely sent the last two electoral lists, the last Census Report and other relevant information. The ABC countries who are committed to cultivating democracy worldwide and in Guyana may also be of some assistance.
P.I. Peters
