Chairman of the Private Sector Commission (PSC), Ramesh Persaud, has called on the Presidential Candidate of the People’s Progressive Party/Civic (PPP/C), Donald Ramotar, to accept the results of the 2015 election.
According to the results emanating from the Guyana Elections Commission (GECOM), the coalition, A Partnership for National Unity plus Alliance For Change (APNU+AFC) is the victor by just over 5000 votes.
The PSC Chairman told this newspaper yesterday that a meeting at Office of the President, was intended for Ramotar to update the body on the party’s concerns regarding the election results. While he did not expound on what those concerns were, he said that Ramotar was told to accept the results of the 2015 election.
Asked what his response was, Persaud said, “He did not concede. He just said “okay, thank you.”
Through a statement to the media, the Commission also said that it welcomes the release of the results and urged all parties to accept the results.
It said that it has every reason to believe that the results reflect the will of the people of Guyana. “We urge the leaders to move forward in a spirit of unity, trust and reconciliation as we continue to build our beloved Guyana,” it concluded.
